ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½

Early Decision is the best way for students to apply if ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ is their first choice college.  These students declare their college intentions by applying Early Decision for admission and making a commitment to enroll if admitted. Early Decision applicants:

• Receive priority consideration for admission.
• Receive priority consideration for merit-based and need-based financial aid.
• Shorten their college application cycle. Admitted Early Decision students can be confident about their college enrollment before the end of fall semester of their senior year.
• $3,000 Early Decision Grant: ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ is offering an additional $3,000 Early Decision Grant to admitted Early Decision students. The Early Decision Grant will be renewed for the four-year academic journey at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½.

There are two Early Decision rounds to consider.
