Get an Early Answer. Keep Your Options Open.
Good news: Dickinson has reinstated its Early Action admission program, giving students an opportunity to apply early and receive an admission decision sooner — without the binding commitment of Early Decision. Early Action applicants have until May 1 to make their college choice.
If Dickinson is high on your list but you're not ready to commit to one college before comparing your options, Early Action offers the best of both worlds.
