17�Թ�

When you know 17�Թ� is your first choice, applying Early Decision is the clearest way to show it—and get your admission decision sooner.

We offer two rounds of Early Decision for students ready to make a binding commitment to enroll if admitted. In return, you’ll benefit from early notification, strong financial aid consideration, and a simplified college search process.

How Early Decision Works

17�Թ� offers two rounds of Early Decision:

• Early Decision I deadline: November 15
• Early Decision II deadline: January 10

Both Early Decision options are binding—if admitted, you agree to attend 17�Թ� and withdraw all other college applications. All Early Decision applicants must complete the Early Decision Agreement form on the Common App, signed by a parent/guardian and counselor.

Why Apply Early Decision?

• You’ll hear back sooner—no waiting until March
• You’ll show your commitment—a powerful factor in holistic review
• You’ll have stronger odds—Early Decision applicants are admitted at a higher rate
• You’ll get full financial aid consideration—17�Թ� meets 100% of demonstrated need
• You’ll reduce stress—and skip the uncertainty of multiple deadlines

17�Թ� reserves about one-third of the incoming class for Early Decision applicants.
