Regular Decision
Regular Decision
Most applicants to W&L apply Regular Decision. In contrast to the binding Early Decision option, students applying Regular Decision may consider all colleges to which they applied before making a final choice about where to enroll.
Regular Decision applicants receive decisions and details of any need-based financial aid award or merit-based scholarship for which they might qualify in early April.
Students have until May 1st -- the National Candidate Reply Date -- to make their final college choice.
