I'm thinking of applying to Hollins with early action. Does anyone know how the early action process works there and if it's any different from other schools' early action processes?
Hollins University follows a fairly typical Early Action (EA) admissions process, similar to many other colleges. Under their EA plan, you submit your application, along with all required supplementary materials, by the EA deadline, which is usually in early November (but you should double-check on the university's admissions website for the most current date).
Typically, EA applicants to Hollins can expect to receive their admission decisions by mid-December. The EA plan at Hollins is non-binding, so if you are accepted, you're not obligated to enroll and have until May 1st to make your final college decision, just like Regular Decision applicants. This allows you to take your time to consider other colleges, financial aid packages, and any other factors before committing to a school.
In sum, Hollins University's EA process does not differ significantly from other universities' EA processes. However, always remember to check the college's website for the most accurate and up-to-date information and to see if they offer any unique opportunities, like interviews or early campus visit days, to EA applicants.
