The College of Charleston is one of very few colleges with an archaeology major focused on the Americas. It is a big draw for my son who applied EA. We don’t know much about the school, but the City of Charleston is amazing…any experienced parents with advice?

I’ll try this again… my OOS daughter applied Early Action to the College of Charleston and also to the Honors College. About three weeks until the Dec 15th decision date and DD is anxiously awaiting a decision! Good luck to all!

I am a parent of a current CoC junior and we live locally. Happy to answer questions.

There are some very unique hands-on opportunities for undergrads with archeology in the Lowcoutry. There are active digs going on many times right downtown when construction takes place.

Son is a historic preservation major and there are a lot of cross over classes. The Geology and Classics Departments have been fabulous as well.

The dates were a little different last year, but I just looked at D21’s email she forwarded last year and it was 10:19 in the morning when they sent a notification email.

Note if you are hoping for a big reveal…they did not make them log into the portal last year it was right in the email and the subject line was Congratulations.

Good luck! If she is invited to the honors college weekend make sure she responds to the emails. It is a big deal - hopefully in person this year.

Are the EA decisions December 1? For some reason I thought I remembered it being December 15!

The CoC website for Early Action says both “ON December 15th” and “by December 15th”:

“Receive your decision on: December 15.Early action is non-binding and provides you with your admission decision by December 15.”

I have read in multiple posts that the admissions office with post a notice on Instagram announcing decisions will be released that day. No notice appeared today…

I just saw on Instagram that they announced the ED decisions and someone asked about Early Action and CofC replied, “Students who applied EA will learn their admissions decision on December 15.”

Son applied EA and also to honors college. We’ve been assuming the decisions will come out on the 15th together.

For our CofC hopefuls counting down to EA decisions -

Cute welcome videos with some ED Acceptances and Dr. Hsu.

And a fun “Night before finals” video they shared this week, too. The lights at the cistern this time of year are beautiful.

The dates were different last year, but I just looked at when D21’s email was sent and it was 5:10pm. It was probably already in the portal.

The email will most likely have the news - they have not forced logging into the portal in the past.
