Editor's notes

• Conn's CDS puts character and personal qualities at Very important, the same weight as rigor and GPA, and the FAQ says it's looking for students who see Conn as one of their primary choices. Everything that shows who you are counts here: the supplement, your recommendations and an interview if you can get one.
• Take the interview. It's optional, 30 minutes and described as a conversation, and the CDS rates it Important. If you can't schedule one, the 60- to 90-second Glimpse video is a real alternative.
• Fall 2027 is the first year Conn offers Early Action, and ED I moved up to Nov. 1. If Conn is your clear first choice, ED I or ED II is the commitment. If not, EA gets you a December answer without one. Both early rounds need financial aid forms by Nov. 1.
