Important Information
Consider Applying Early Action
<p>If Curry is one of your top choices, we encourage you to apply under our Early Action (EA) Plan. Students who apply by our December 1 EA deadline are guaranteed a speedy response—and may also receive a $2,000 Early Action Award (worth $8,000 over four years.)</p>
<p>EA is non-binding, which means accepted students have until May 1 to secure their enrollment.</p>
<p>All EA applicants receive an admission decision within two weeks of completing their applications. If admitted under the Early Action plan, you will receive a $2,000 Early Action award in addition to other merit scholarships. Please note that additional information may be requested by the Admission Office prior to releasing an admission decision.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An admitted student must also report to the Curry College Office of Admissions if he or she becomes subject to any discipline process by a school or if his or her status at any school changes for any reason, or if information that was provided to the College in application materials is no longer accurate. The College may take action to withdraw its offer of acceptance and deny admission to (or continued enrollment at) the College, based upon this information (or failure to report these changes as required).</span></p>
