This is the official discussion thread for Fairfield Class of 2028 RD applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.
Good morning! My daughter was deferred from EA POOL- her letter says she will hear a final decision by April 1st. Does anyone know if this is when the regular applicant pool decisions are released? Seems kind of late in the game to hear back!
I was also deferred from the EA pool
My daughter was accepted on 2/15! She is an official stag! 
Any response yet? Hang in there!
just an email saying that decisions would be released in mid march. I did however interview after my deferral and also sent a letter of continued interest along with being in contact with their office

did she shift her application to ed2?
She basically courted the school as hard as she could. She did another tour, multiple letters back and forth, the interview and then yes-we spoke with the director of admissions and he suggested she switch the EDII for the greatest chance. I think the other deferrals from EA come out with the RD batch. If youre serious about going i would suggest asking if you can switch to EDII still. This school has been incredible with communication. They truly want every student to want to be there and succeed!
The interview is huge! Thats major points in your favor! Even if you aren’t ready for EDII, or it’s too late. I would still write another letter of interest. If you want to PM me I can give you the email to the director that assisted my daughter. But honestly, they have all been incredible!!
this was so helpful!! I interviewed and wrote two LOCIs. I then emailed my admissions councellor and got in touch with a lot of people through him. he has been very helpful in fasilitating connections. im an international student btw. I would love to shift to ed2 but the deadline has passed now. I have high hopes tho
That’s great!! The more connections and interest you show the better. It was to the point that my daughter was like, mom…we are bothering them now haha. But each time we were met with the same enthusiasm and willingness to communicate. We even had multiple phone calls. They really are so great. She applied to similar catholic colleges, and none were as responsive, so ultimately we knew EDII was a no brainer for her. Good luck to you-I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!-definitely keep me posted and Go Stags!!!
thank you so much!! I am praying it works out because I really do love the school so much. I only applied to two similar schools but everything aside, just like you said, everyone at Fairfield is just so excited to help. As an international student, I would be thrilled to attend.
hello! I hope you’re well. wanted to see if deferrals are common for fairfield, do lmk!
RD comes out on the 14th
