Decision Notification

Deadlines

Decision Notification

Admission decision and financial aid awards are made available on February 1 for early action decisions and March 10 for regular decisions through your Brewster Admissions Portal. Admitted students are required to return the contract and deposit by April 10 or the date specified on the contract.

What is the difference between early action and regular decisions?
Early action is an opt-in opportunity for you to get your decision six weeks earlier than our regular decision process. Early action is non-binding, and gives you additional time to make your decision so you can wait to hear from other schools on March 10 before making your final decision on April 10.
