Guidelines for applying under a binding early decision process have been defined by the National Association for

College Admission Counseling’s Statement of Principles and Good Practices:

“Early Decision (ED) is the application process in which students make a commitment to a first choice

institution where, if admitted, they definitely will enroll. While pursuing admission under an

Early Decision plan, students may apply to other institutions, but may have only one Early Decision application

pending at any time. Should a student who applies for financial aid not be offered an award that makes attendance

possible, the student may decline the offer of admission and be released from the Early Decision commitment. The

institution must notify the applicant of the decision within a reasonable and clearly stated period of time after the

Early Decision deadline. Usually, a nonrefundable deposit must be made well in advance of May 1. The institution

will respond to an application for financial aid at or near the time of an offer of admission. Institutions with Early

Decision plans may restrict students from applying to other early plans. Institutions will clearly articulate their

specific policies in their Early Decision agreement.”

If you are accepted under an Early Decision plan, you must

immediately

withdraw the applications submitted

to other colleges and make no additional applications to any other college in any country. If you are an Early

Decision candidate and are seeking financial aid, you do not need to withdraw other applications until you have

received notification about financial aid from the University of Chicago.
