This is the common concern among the candidates who are college students. The preliminary round is on June 1st, and after that is the intensive training. Therefore, it should not have any conflict with your school schedule and you should have more than enough time. However, you should still register early, so you could be interviewed early for determination of whether or not you are selected for the preliminary round.  Then, you should have a clear guideline afterwards.  If you are not selected after the interview, then it should not affect your other arrangements of your summer vacation.  Should you have further questions, please feel free to contact the Administrative Assistant of the Committee at This email address is being protected from spambots.
