Early decision
The early decision (ED) application process is designed for first-year applicants who are certain Rochester is their first-choice school.
Students who enroll via Early Decision will receive priority in housing assignment (the ability to preference a hall on the First-Year Quad vs. First-Year Hill), earlier academic advising opportunities, the potential for earlier registration (up to 24 hours ahead of general), and priority move-in day selection.
We offer two rounds of early decision: November 1 (ED I) or January 5 (ED II).
Students who are interested in applying early decision will need to submit their application and other materials by the appropriate deadline. Please read all of the information about dates and deadlines before applying early decision.
