Early Decision
If Susquehanna is your first choice, we encourage you to apply for an Early Decision. Through this admission plan, you can apply early in your senior year (by Nov. 15) and receive an early notification of admission (by Dec. 1). To apply under Early Decision, you must not apply for Early Decision review at another college or university. You can file Regular Decision applications at other colleges with the understanding that these applications will be withdrawn from consideration if you are accepted under our Early Decision plan.
To apply, please submit the following:
- an application
- a completed application supplement
- a completed Early Decision request form, signed by you and your parent/guardian
- a $35 non-refundable fee if submitting your application by mail
- your high school transcript listing senior courses
- senior year grades when available
- an evaluation from your guidance counselor
- a teacher evaluation from a junior- or senior-level course
- results of the SAT-1, the American College Test (ACT), or two graded writing samples if you choose the Write Option
We also recommend the following:
- letters of evaluation from additional teachers
- samples of creative work, as appropriate
