Bennington College Offering Late-Decision Applications

BENNINGTON, Vt. — Bennington College has launched a college admissions application round for prospective students: late decision. This new admissions round responds to the evolving needs of prospective students navigating their college search.
 
"Each April, selective college admissions directors take calls from their college counseling colleagues on the other side of the desk. They share stories of applicants who are either not satisfied with their options or wish to rethink them for various reasons and inquire about accepting a late application," said David Buckwald, the college's vice president for enrollment management and marketing.
 
Bennington wants to democratize this opportunity and turn it into an application round for all prospective students who haven't previously applied this year.
 
"With the changing political and environmental climate, we believe there are even more students than usual who want to consider our creative, close, and inclusive community in beautiful Vermont," said President Laura Walker.
 
The late decision application round, designed for students who are discovering Bennington later in their senior year or gap year, opens on Monday, March 10. Students can apply via the common application or Bennington's dimensional application, with a deadline of April 8. Admissions decisions will be sent out on April 17, and accepted students will have until May 1 to reply. Like early action and regular decision, it is a non-binding admissions round. 
 
The college will host an on-campus event, BenningtonNext, on April 28, for admitted students to visit and speak with faculty and students. 
 
As a test-optional institution with a dimensional application, Bennington College has long been a leader in holistic admissions. Late decision is an extension of that student-driven approach.
