Early Decision II: Is it right for you?

Why should I choose Early Decision II?
Perhaps you weren’t ready to commit to one college as early as November. Now that you’ve learned more about the opportunities at Stevens, have visited our campus, or attended an event, perhaps you’ve decided that Stevens is the school for you. If that’s the case, you should consider submitting your application in time for Early Decision II.

What are the benefits of Early Decision II?
If you are accepted under the Early Decision plan, you will know by February 15th where you are going to college, and you can enjoy the rest of your senior year. You will also receive earlier notification of all need- and merit-based aid. If you plan to apply for financial aid, you should submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) between January 1 and January 15. Applications for need-based aid will be considered upon submission of the FAFSA.

What are my Early Decision responsibilities?
Early Decision II carries the same requirements as Early Decision I.

You must sign and return the Early Decision Agreement Form to us indicating that Stevens is your first-choice school. You can download the form from our Web site at www.stevens.edu/undergrad/earlydecision.

If you are accepted to Stevens and deposit, you will then need to withdraw all applications from other colleges.

When is my application due?
To be considered in the Early Decision II pool, your application must be received by January 15, 2008.

What if I already submitted my regular decision application and decide to switch to Early Decision II?
Simply send us a signed copy of the Early Decision Agreement form and a note indicating that you’d like to be considered under the earlier deadline.

How will I learn about my financial aid package?
As an Early Decision candidate, you will receive a priority financial aid package. Please submit your FAFSA as soon as it becomes available after January 1, 2008, but no later than January 15th. Be sure to use the Stevens code, 002639, on your form, and submit it to the federal government. All applicants are considered for merit awards regardless of whether they submit the FAFSA.

Do the application requirements change for Early Decision II?
No. We still require official test scores, transcripts, guidance and teacher recommendations, an interview, and a personal statement. We also ask that you submit your first quarter or mid-term grades.

How do I apply?
Use our online application at www.stevens.edu/undergrad/instructions or the The Common Application, found at www.commonapp.org.

Stevens is definately my number one choice!!!! I am putting full commitment and will do what it takes to get in!! I came for my campus visit, and once again am coming in the winter. Also, I am attending the sleeping bag weekend, which I am looking foward to. I have to also do an interview and then proceed in any other events Stevens has in store for me. This is the college I have been wanting to go to ever since God knows when and hopefully my mission is accomplished...
