Class of 2027: Early Decision Notification Dates

For those with a top-choice Early Decision and/or Early Action school, you’ve hit “submit” or are poised to do so before the next deadline. Congrats!

The college admissions landscape has changed dramatically over the years but two things are consistent: 1. Odds still go WAY up at most schools in the early rounds and 2. Strong data points (including test scores and grades) are key distinguishing factors. Students working with Top Tier Admissions have created wise early round strategies to support their competitive applications.

Now that the November 1 deadline has passed, we’ve compiled a sample of early action and early decision notification dates for you. Sit back, relax, and let the acceptance letters roll in!

TTA Top Tip: Before the November 15^th early deadline (and/or the Early Decision II/Regular deadlines), take advantage of our Application Review program and ensure you have fully maximized your application materials!
