Early Action Update

[Objee]

Early Action for the Class of 2026 was completed yesterday and all decision letters have been published. For those who may not be familiar with our selection process, we conduct a thorough holistic review of every record and it's not unusual for up to six faculty and/or Admissions staff members to have read an application before a final recommendation is made to the Superintendent by our Director of Admissions. We release decisions as soon as they're finalized, but the process always takes three or four weeks and could take even longer if a record needs to be reviewed for our CGAS (Prep School) Program after it has initially been reviewed for direct appointment. We also conduct a secondary review on every record not recommended for appointment to either the Academy or CGAS Program prior to briefing the Superintendent. Congratulations to those receiving appointments or the opportunity to be reviewed again in Regular Admission and I would encourage anyone who did not to contact their Admissions Officer in January for guidance on reapplying to the Class of 2027 should they remain interested in attending the Academy. Early Action statistics have not been approved for release yet, but it was a particularly competitive year and we're looking forward to reviewing more amazing records in Regular Admission after our faculty and staff enjoy a well-deserved break. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from New London!

Any chance that you will be releasing EA statistics before RA results come out?

A belated “Thank you” for all your great work at New London! My DS really appreciated the call from the admissions officer about his appointment, adding a personal touch to this process.

I don't think anything would be released because of all the "conditionals" and the fact that do not have to commit right away.

I don't think anything would be released because of all the "conditionals" and the fact that do not have to commit right away.

In some past years, they have released statistics including: number of EA applicants, how many EA offers made to USCGA (including conditional), how many offers made to CGAS (including conditional), how many deferred to RA, and how many denied.

They have also sometimes given info on approximately how many appointments they plan to make and what size class they expect/hope to get from those appointments.
