Early Action

Applicants with excellent academic credentials can be admitted by Early Action beginning on October 15 for students who have completed an application and submitted all required documents by October 1.

Early Action decisions are strictly academic, based on a combination of high school GPA and the ACT or SAT score of the applicant; other factors are not considered. Students who meet the Early Action criteria will be accepted on a weekly basis from October 15 to February 15.

Additional Rounds

Admission decisions made based on criteria other than Early Action criteria are determined in three rounds beginning November 15. Those decisions will include acceptance and non-acceptance. These decisions are based primarily on academic achievement but also evaluate other factors submitted in the application process.

First round decisions will be made November 15 for students who have completed an application by November 1. Not all students in the applicant pool will receive a decision in the first round. Applicants for whom a decision is not made will be notified of a continuing review of their application.

Second round decisions will be made December 15 for students who complete an application by December 1 and once again, not all students in the applicant pool will receive a decision.

Third round and final decisions will be made by February 15 for students who have completed their application and submitted the required documents by February 1. All students with a completed application and submitted doecuments will recieve a decision this round.
