Early Decision Round I (ED I) and Restrictive Early Action (REA) college admission results are in, and the Class of 2026 has much to celebrate.
While more information will be available in the coming weeks and months, Poly Prep’s Upper School deans are pleased to share some informative current data: 83% of the class applied via Early Decision I (EDI) or Restricted Early Action (REA), and 17% applied via non-restrictive Early Action (EA).
Among the ED I and REA applicants, our admission rate was just over 58%, and 63% of those offers came from U.S. News’s top-25 national universities and liberal arts colleges. And, to date, 87% of Grade 12 students now have an offer of admission from at least one college or university, many with merit scholarships.
We want to congratulate students on their admission to the following colleges and universities via ED I and REA. This class has already achieved so much and there’s more to come; we are incredibly proud of them. Keep up the great work, Class of 2026!
