My daughter received notification today in the Common App for direct admission to Denison (among other schools). This surprised us, as Denison is a pretty selective school and we have not heard of them offering direct admission in the Common App before. The other schools that offered direct admission to her are schools that accept most of their applicants.
Is this legit? She went ahead and completed and submitted the application.
Is your daughter First Gen or Low Income?
Denison does not have rolling admissions.
Yes, she is first generation
Many schools have direct admission for high achieving first gen and/or low income students. It’s entirely possible that Denison has identified your daughter as such and sent the direct admission offer. Congrats and good luck with the rest of her college applications.
Yes. Denison joined this year
Joined what?
The Common App direct admissions program. I found this after additional searching and it looks like Denison started participating this admissions cycle. My daughter is thrilled to have an admission to a school she is excited about!
