    *NOTE: Since Hurricane Sandy has impacted the lives of millions of Americans, Hobart and William Smith Colleges are extending our Early Decision deadline from November 15th to December 1st. We understand that this is a very difficult time for many families, and that this deadline still may not be a sufficient amount of time to complete an early decision application. If this is the case we encourage you to contact our office. Notification for ED I will still take place by December 15th.
