Many colleges and universities have begun updating their websites for the Class of 2022 (2017-18) admission cycle. While we expect the activity to continue into the late summer, several of the changes we've observed are worth noting.

Notable changes include new Early Decision I options at St. John's University and Villanova, a new Early Decision II option at Northeastern and an Early Action I option at the University of Richmond.

Many schools in fact simply embed these prompts in the main application itself.
