If Gettysburg is your first choice, you are strongly encouraged to apply for Early Decision (ED) admission. Gettysburg offers two Early Decision deadline dates; the EDI application deadline is November 15 and the EDII deadline is January 15. Early Decision admissions decisions are mailed within one month of the deadline date. 
Students who are admitted under the ED plan are obligated to enroll at Gettysburg College. Once accepted, ED candidates are expected to validate the offer with a $500 nonrefundable deposit and to withdraw applications submitted to other institutions. In most cases, students applying for ED who are not offered acceptance will automatically be considered for Regular Decision admission upon receipt of subsequent semester grades and test scores from the senior year.
In recent years, about 35-40 percent of Gettysburg's first-year students have been admitted through Early Decision. Typically, Gettysburg receives over 6,100 applications each year, and approximately 500 of the applications received are for Early Decision.
Students who have applied for Regular Decision can convert their application to Early Decision until February 1.
