Hello, I am new to CC. Curious how they know today will be a release date for Fairfield and is this both ED1 and EA? Thank you for your insight, new to this and nervous/excited for my son.

Hello! Looks like today is only ED1 for Fairfield. EA should be between Dec 20th -Jan 15th. People in the community find out and then they post on the calendar. Keep checking the calendar as sometimes updates are only known 24 hours before. Good luck!

Just confirmed with an AO that Fairfield EA notification will come out just prior to Christmas. Excited!

Thank you for sharing! Last year it came out 12/14–did you get the sense it might be out the week of the 18th this year?
Fairfield website says EA notification will come out between 12/20 and 1/15. I asked if they could narrow that down any further and they said “just prior to Christmas,” so I’m assuming between 12/20-12/24.

Thanks!
Update from Fairfield AO - they’re aiming for “EA decision release to be at some point mid-next week, but the exact day/time will be emailed out in the coming days.”

Thank you for the update! Just to clarify middle of this current week, or next? Last year I believe EA came out one week after ED so that is my hope 
Does anyone think EA decisions will be shared today? A year ago, Fairfield released EA decisions a week after the ED 1 decisions.
That was my thought too, but we have no updates so far…I really think it could be
Just got an update from the Fairfield AO: “…we are on track for EA release to be next week, so just keep an eye out for an email confirming exact day/time.” Good luck everyone!

Shocked that DS25 was deferred. 3.96 unweighted, 10 Aps, 1430 SAT. Thoughts?
Did you apply for financial aid? I feel like that sadly factors into Fairfield’s decisions. Not a good look for the school!
Daughter applied to direct admit nursing - deferred. 4.0 uw/4.3 weighted. Didn’t display much demonstrated interest initially, so prob will do an interview and visit to nursing school if able.
DD25 accepted into Nursing with the Bellarmine Scholarship $26k. She needs to keep a minimum GPA. 3.9UW/4.43W did not SAT submit scores. Volunteers weekly at a hospital. Visited campus. We are from California.
