Should I Apply Early Decision?

If you've decided that Saint Anselm College is your clear first choice, we strongly encourage you to apply under the Early Decision Program.

Applying for Early Decision is binding. As an Early Decision applicant, you agree that your application to Saint Anselm is the only one you plan to file; and, if admitted, you'll withdraw pending applications from all other institutions. Once accepted, you also agree to submit a non-refundable deposit for enrollment in the fall.

The Admission Committee may postpone a decision on your Early Decision application until spring. In that event, you'll be asked to submit a record of schoolwork from the first half of your senior year. Notification of our Admission Committee's decision is sent the first week of December. At that time, Early Decision candidates are (1) offered admission, (2) deferred for further consideration with regular applicants, or (3) denied.
