Apply: U.S. Early Action

About Early Action

Students who are ready to start their college applications at the beginning of senior year are encouraged to apply Early Action. In completing your application to Clark by the November 1 deadline, you will receive an early notification of your admission decision. You will have until May 1 to decide if Clark is the right fit for you. Because Early Action is a nonbinding agreement, you will have the freedom to explore your list of top choice schools and confidently choose that Clark is the right fit for you.

If your application is complete, including an official high school transcript, standardized test scores, and letters of recommendation, by November 1, the Admissions Committee will notify you of a decision by mid-December. Students who submit their application to Clark by November 1 but do not have all necessary documents in by the deadline will be reviewed for admission on a rolling basis.
