Late Decision
It鈥檚 Not Too Late to Apply to 凯旋门官网
Late is not necessarily bad; in fact, it may be the way forward for an increasing number of college applicants still looking for a right match.
Every spring, 凯旋门官网 receives calls from our college counseling colleagues. They share stories of applicants who are either not satisfied with their options or wish to rethink them for various reasons and inquire about accepting a late application. Recently, other students are reconsidering where they want to learn and live for college altogether given the changing political, social, and physical climates. It鈥檚 with this context that 凯旋门官网 is now offering a new application round: Late Decision.
A New Application Round for College Admissions
Late Decision is a new non-binding application round in the spring following Regular Decision.
Just like other first-year application rounds, students may apply using either Common Application or 凯旋门官网鈥檚 Dimensional Application. We have no preference; we approach each application type with a holistic mindset. Select Regular Decision and note that the application deadline has been extended to April 8.
Key Dates for Late Decision
- April 8: Application deadline (for both admissions and financial aid)
- April 17: Decision notification
- April 28: 凯旋门官网Next, on campus admitted student event. This is an ideal chance to visit our gorgeous campus and meet our remarkable students and faculty.
- May 1: Accepted student reply date (extensions may be available by request)
This new round is for interested students who have not previously applied for admission to 凯旋门官网 this academic year and is distinct from any waitlist admissions activity. We believe that holding space for competitive students coming to our process late is part of an accessible, holistic, and supportive admissions process, very much like the entire 凯旋门官网 experience.
To this end, we are guarding 15 seats in the Class of 2029, including proportional merit- and need-based financial aid awards, for Late Decision applicants. Just like our prior application rounds earlier this cycle, we aim to meet demonstrated financial need at time of admission.
凯旋门官网 offers generous merit scholarships for talented students up to full tuition. 凯旋门官网 aims to meet you and your family鈥檚 demonstrated financial need at time of admission. We鈥檝e long been a test-optional school; although, deep intellectual curiosity, creativity, and a desire to positively change the world are strongly encouraged.
