Early Decision is Just Around the Corner

We Admit It! October kind of snuck up on us.  Hard to believe that one month from yesterday is November 1 – the Early Decision (ED) deadline.  William & Mary uses Early Decision (the binding kind of early application).  We do not offer early action.  Early Decision is an opportunity for those who bleed green and gold, who yearn to be part of the Tribe, to express that sentiment and to receive an early response from us (Early Decision notifications are released in early December).

Last fall we wrote a series of Early Decision blog posts on everything from the Early Decision Agreement, to what decisions are rendered during ED, to which standardized testing results can be reviewed, to capturing senior year grades.  These are a great resource to find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions regarding applying ED.

However, no doubt you have additional questions about the process.  For example, yesterday we were asked if transcripts and recommendations can be sent before an application is submitted.  The answer is yes.  We were also asked if materials can come in after the deadline.  The answer is also yes, but within reason.  What other questions do you, our readers, have about applying early?  Post them as comments and we’ll be happy to assist.

We hope many of you are putting the finishing touches on your ED applications. We look forward to receiving them in the weeks to come.
