Decisions - what?

If you have applied early action, you will either be admitted, deferred, or denied.

I think you can guess what admitted means. It means that you can come join us next year. However, you do not have to. That is because our early action program is non-binding. You can apply to other schools if you want. You can enroll the next day if you want. The choice is yours. Financial aid information should follow within days, if you applied on time and your application was complete.

If you are deferred, you will be read again in the regular notification pool. We will ask for your midyear grades in January (we ask for them from everyone), and they will give us the information we need to make a decision in the regular notification pool. We also would like you to show interest by attaching a comment to your midyear report or just telling us what you're up to. Or just sending an email that says "It's too bad that you deferred me, but I still want to attend your school."

Students who are denied will not be read again that year. That is the final decision.

How many students will be admitted, deferred, and denied this year? I we don't aren't know telling.

What will the envelopes look like? They'll all be rectangles, and probably white or white-ish.

When do you do the midyear report? January. Our midyear report is special, and you can only fill it out online. You self-report your grades. That way you can also tell us what you're up to.
