Freshman Early Decision

Bennington College offers two Early Decision plans; Early Decision I and Early Decision II. Students who decide that Bennington is the college they would most like to attend may apply for an early admissions decision and notification in order to settle their college plans by the beginning of December (ED I) or by early February (ED II). By applying for Early Decision, students make clear that Bennington is their first choice and are required to withdraw applications at other institutions upon admission to Bennington; applicants who are not admitted early will be reconsidered for Regular Decision. ED I applications are due November 15. ED II applications are due January 3. Please click here for financial aid application deadlines.
