Are early decision applicants who do not get in reconsidered amongst the regular pool of applicants in the Spring?
December 16th, 2013
Monica, thank you for your question. We do not defer students from Early Decision to Regular Decision. If a student is not admitted through Early Decision, then he or she is released from the ED agreement and free to apply to other schools.
December 16th, 2013
what about applying to to the regular admission after a rejection at ED?
December 17th, 2013
Thanks for asking, Jim. Because the Regular Decision applicant pool is even more competitive than the Early Decision pool, students who are not admitted through ED are not deferred to RD and should not re-apply through RD. Thank you for your question.

Are students who are not accepted ED1 still considered for ED2?
September 17th, 2014
Thanks for your question. No, students who are not admitted at EDI are not considered for EDII. If you apply EDI you’ll get your final admission decision when those are released (by December 15). Thanks!

Why would a student apply ED II instead of ED I? What are the advantages/disadvantages to each?
October 14th, 2014
EDI and EDII are basically just two parts to the same Early Decision round of admissions. The difference is just in dates: Early Decision I has an application deadline of November 1, with student notification in mid-December and the deadline for Early Decision II is January 1, with student notification in mid-February. This gives some students more flexibility about when to apply.
