INSTRUCTIONS:
As defined by Swarthmore College:
Early Decision (ED) is a restrictive early application plan in which students commit to a first-choice college and, if admitted, agree to enroll and
withdraw their other college applications. While pursuing admission under an Early Decision plan, students may apply to other institutions under a
Regular/Standard or Early Action Application plan, but may have only one Early Decision application pending at a time. Colleges will respond to an
application for financial aid at or near the time of an offer of admission and before a deposit is required. Should a student who applies for financial aid not
be offered an award that makes attendance possible, the student may request a release from the Early Decision commitment. Colleges must notify
candidates of the admission decision within a clearly stated period of time. A nonrefundable deposit may be required before May 1.
If
you
are admitted under Early Decision at Swarthmore College, you must promptly withdraw applications submitted to other colleges and
universities and make no additional applications to any other college or university in any country. If you are an Early Decision candidate and are
seeking financial aid, you need not withdraw other applications until you received notification about financial aid from Swarthmore College.
