Dear Colleague,
I am writing to give you an update on our Early Action and Early Decision I application process. Like many colleges, we have seen a dramatic increase in students applying early. A decade ago, we received 475 early applicants. This year, our pool has eclipsed 2,500 applicants – nearly 400 Early Decision applicants and more than 2,100 Early Action applicants. These are record numbers for Colorado College and will require an expanded reading and review process.
We expect to mail Early Decision I decisions the week of December 10th and release them online on December 12th at 5 pm MST via our portal (www.CCBaseCamp.com). Our Early Action review and committee process will extend into the third week of December, and we anticipate releasing these decisions to students on our portal (www.CCBaseCamp.com) on Thursday December, 20th at 5pm MST. As with our Early Decision notification process, we also will mail decision letters to Early Action applicants.
Switching from Early Action/Regular Action to Early Decision: We routinely get calls from students about moving from Early Action to Early Decision. Students can do so by submitting the Early Decision Agreement Form by Wednesday, November 28, 2012. We must have a completed application as well as the Early Decision Agreement Form in hand by this date.
Admit rates for our early rounds: We predict we will admit 35-40% of our Early Decision applicants and 25-30% of our Early Action applicants.
Early Action Withdrawals: Each year, we receive several dozen Early Action withdrawals on or after December 15th when students are notified of admission under binding Early Decision programs at peer colleges. We encourage your students to be in touch with us as soon as possible by email at admission@coloradocollege.edu if they intend to withdraw their Colorado College application. As appropriate, we encourage you to notify us with an email if one of your students will be withdrawing their application. While we cannot officially make this change in our system without hearing directly from the student, we can place an applicant on hold from our committee process which in turn will allow us to admit another deserving student.
Finally, Colorado College administrative and academic offices will be closed on Friday, December 21st and will reopen on Monday, January 7, 2013.
Sincerely,
Mark J. Hatch
Vice President for Enrollment
