Early Decision I and II are binding agreements for first-year students who are sure that Clark is their first choice. If you’re admitted, you must enroll at Clark and withdraw your applications to other schools.

Applying Early Decision to Clark

Early Action is non-binding, but allows first-year students to apply in the fall and have their decision and financial aid award by January. Because you may apply Early Action to other colleges and universities as well, you will have more time and flexibility to explore all your options.

Regular Decision has a deadline of January 15 and we are typically able to notify students of our decision by mid-late March. This option is open to both U.S. and international students.

Each year, Clark welcomes about 75 new transfer students combined in the fall and spring semesters. Admissions deadlines are rolling each semester (see table).

Over 15% of Clark’s students come from outside the U.S. each year. If English is not your native language, you will need to submit an official TOEFL, Duolingo, or IELTS score report. We do not have minimum scores for any test. We will consider your English proficiency holistically, based on your scores, transcript, essay, and letters of recommendation. We also strongly encourage all applicants to sit for an interview. This is especially important for applicants who do not speak English as a native language.

Each year, Clark admits over 50 first-year and transfer students for spring admission. This entry term is increasingly popular with first-year students who want to take a semester off or do a gap semester before starting college.
