Early Action
We know the college application process can be stressful. If you’re confident that Â鶹ÊÓƵֱ²¥ is where you belong and you want to wrap up your college search early in the fall, then applying Early Action is the best option for you!
Applications received between August 1 and November 15 will have an admission decision and admission scholarship offer within two weeks once applications start being reviewed in early October. So you can relax and enjoy the holiday season and the rest of high school knowing that you’ve found your home for the next four years.
What is Early Action?
Â鶹ÊÓƵֱ²¥ has Early Action which is different from Early Decision. If you are accepted to Â鶹ÊÓƵֱ²¥ through Early Action, you are not required to attend (though we would certainly like you to!) Early Decision is, generally, an application process that requires you to withdraw all other applications and commit if accepted. Early Action is designed to give you an answer quickly about your application and provide you with information upfront during your college search, without feeling the added pressure of making a commitment without having all of your questions answered.
