First Year Admission Deadlines
Meredith offers three First Year application plans: Early Decision (binding), Early Action (non- binding), and Regular Decision.
Early Decision (ED) application plan is designed for students who have thought through their college options carefully and are ready to officially choose Meredith as the college they will attend, if admitted. Early Decision is a binding application plan. Students admitted Early Decision are expected to withdraw all applications to other colleges/universities and be ready to officially reserve their space at Meredith by December 15. Early Decision applicants who would like to be considered for financial aid should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in early fall or by the ED financial assistance application deadline.
