The Early Action Plan is designed for students who want to complete the admission process early in their senior year. Early Action applicants must submit application forms and all supporting materials by November 1; we will notify you of our admission decision by December 15. If your application cannot be accepted on an Early Action basis, we may defer the admission decision, ask for further supporting materials, and reconsider your application for Regular Decision.
