This year, we received a record number of qualified applications. Typically students who gained admission during Early-Action, met the profile of our incoming class for the previous year. Last year our average GPA was a 3.66 and our average SAT was 1239. Admissions decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and there are various factors that can influence our decision. An admissions staff member will be happy to help answer any questions you may have.

The chances change each year depending on the strength of the applicant pool. However, the fact that a student applied for Early-Action and was deferred to Regular Decision will certainly be taken into consideration during evaluation.

All decision letters will be sent out mid-March.

Waitlisted students should first notify us that they would like to accept a spot on our wait list by completing our waitlist response form on your applicant portal.

Students who choose to remain on the waitlist will be notified no later than mid-June regarding their status.
