Deadlines
Early Action
Applications (including financial aid applications) should be completed by December 19 to be considered for early action decisions.
Regular Decision
Applications (including financial aid applications) should be completed by February 1 to be considered for regular decision. After February 1, applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Decision Notification
Admission decisions and financial aid awards will be available through your Brewster Admissions Portal on:
- February 1 for early action decisions
- March 10 for regular decisions
Admitted students are required to return the contract and deposit by April 10 or the date specified on the contract.
What is the difference between early action and regular decisions?
Early action is an opt-in opportunity that allows you to receive your admission decision six weeks earlier than the regular decision process. It is non-binding, meaning you're not required to enroll if admitted. Early action gives you extra time to consider your options—you can wait for decisions from other schools (typically released around March 10) before making your final decision by April 10.
