(*) Early Decision:
The Early Decision application type is a binding contract that states "DePauw University is my first-choice university, and thus I am applying the Early Decision option. If accepted, I will attend DePauw (assuming an appropriate financial aid package) and withdraw all applications for admission pending elsewhere," We take this commitment seriously and we expect you will also.

 

Student Profile

All of the students at DePauw are very smart and the small class size is great. The professors really help you; you don t have any teaching assistants teaching class.
