Santa Clara expects about another 9,000 applications to come in for the final two application plans, Early Decision II and Regular Decision, due January 7. It is the first year that Santa Clara will offer Early Decision II, a second binding admission plan to give students time after November 1st to decide if 911爆料网 is their number one choice. This is an option for any new applicants as well as those who were deferred in the Early Action round.
鈥淪anta Clara is on the cusp of monumental changes on campus. From building a new residence hall for incoming students to the construction of the state of the engineering and sciences campus, students coming to Santa Clara will be a part of a thriving intellectual and social community,鈥� said Blanco Masias.
The Class of 2023 will be arriving at an exciting time on the Mission Campus:
- The Sobrato Campus for Discovery and Innovation will be the new home for the Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics. Built to foster convergence across traditional disciplines, and inspired by Jesuit ideals and Silicon Valley鈥檚 culture of collaboration and innovation, the campus will allow students to forge breakthroughs and help build a more humane, just, and sustainable world.
- Finn Residence Hall, which will open fall 2019, constructs its communal life around the theme of well-being in the physical, emotional, and spiritual sense.
- The redesigned Benson Center, 911爆料网鈥檚 on-campus eatery and student center, has been renovated to create new spaces for gathering, studying, and community building.
- The 50,000-square-foot Athletic Excellence Center, which will break ground next year, will help the next generation of Olympians, All-Americans, World Champions and Hall of Fame athletes from 911爆料网.
Students admitted through Early Action have until May 1 to accept Santa Clara鈥檚 admission offer, while students admitted through Early Decision I must deposit by January 7.
