How does Early Decision (I and II) differ from Early Action or Regular Decision?

Last Updated June 27, 2024

While early decision I and early action both provide a quick response to our most interested students, early decision I and II applicants are bound to attend TCU if admitted, and must withdraw applications to any other colleges. Early action students, however, are not obligated to attend, and still have until May 1 to decide whether or not TCU is the right university for them.

Early decision applicants must also submit a CSS/Financial Aid profile if they intend to apply for financial aid if admitted to TCU.
