NOTE: Since Hurricane Sandy has impacted the lives of millions of Americans, Hobart and William Smith Colleges are extending our Early Decision deadline from November 15th to December 1st.

If this is the case we encourage you to contact our office. Notification for ED I will still take place by December 15th.
