<p>NE, the Drexel applicant submitted one of their mass-emailed “Priority Applications”. I don’t recall if they promised extra early responses to those. He is a B+ student with no hooks.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that some schools are reporting earlier than December, but back when my son applies (2006) that was the earliest I saw. My daughter got one application from a catholic college she wasn’t interested in last month and it said they would get back to her in a few weeks. What I like is that some colleges will send a FA statement earlier than their website indicates which is always nice.</p>
<p>Yabeyabe, that puts a different spin on it. I was wondering about EA schools, but not those with priority applications, where there is often an earlier decision offered.</p>
<p>Does U Maine have rolling acceptances ?</p>
<p>I don’t know how selective those priority apps are. I guess I would assume that almost everyone is using one if the school offers it. Northeastmom, are you hearing about decisions from a particular school and wondering why they have been released so early?</p>
<p>Ohio Wesleyan sends early. My son was accepted in late November</p>
<p>Ga Tech has two early notification programs.</p>
<p>If you applied before or on Oct 1, you got notification at worst November 20. Apparently, some students already got notification that they got accepted.</p>
<p>If you applied before or on November 1, you got notification around December 20 or so.</p>
<p>My girls were pointing out to me some extended deadlines for EA yesterday they received (although they applied already) I knew from my son, a few colleges do that,sometiems 3 or 4 times, but the earlier you get it in, the earlier the possiblity of getting it back sooner.
I also noticed on one small Catholic LAC (Assumption) a financial aid estimator. It’s not guaranteed of course, but you put in your AGI, savings, etc. and scores if sending, GPA, and they will email you what you would qualify for in need-based aid and merit awards.
Wish more colleges had something like that, but I realize it is hard for more holitstic and popular schools to promise anything even as an estimate.</p>
<p>Debruns, my son just got an extended date offered to him for a priority application at one school. The offer was sent to him by email. I guess they got his name, address, and email address from one of the testing companies. My son never contacted them.</p>
<p>Yes, we had a few of those. Sometimes in little print on the bottom it will say the ACT test or SAT sent them, usually it’s ACT though.
Fordham and other smaller Catholic colleges are noted to extend deadlines and even Drew, but I tell them never to count on that and just get their papers in order as soon as they can. The next EA deadline for us is Nov 15 and then Dec. 1st for UConn, the rest will be RD.</p>
