Early Action question? Need clarification

Applying to College
1

So, I have already applied EA to three schools:

Fordham University
Emerson College
Fairfield

This applies to most schools, but I submitted my apps in early October and was wondering if there is any chance that I could get a decision (or two! or three!) sometime in November, instead of the standard “mid-December” admissions decision notification which accompanies so many other colleges’ in the US!

In simpler terms, since I submitted my apps earlier, could that mean that I could possibly hear back from any of them BEFORE mid-December?

Thanks!

It depends if the schools have rolling admission (in which they will let you know their decision as soon as they make it, as opposed to a singular date and releasing all decisions).

I don’t know about those schools specifically but I recall my kids getting decisions early from some schools. Definitely, when applying RD, I can’t recall for sure if it happened for EA schools.

In general, no, unless they state they are “rolling” admissions.

You can look at the forums for last year’s class here on CC and see if they mention getting early answers.
