Applying Early Decision or Early Action

Applying Early Decision or Early Action January 16 Dont waste your valuable Early card. Students should absolutely apply Early Decision or Early Action to the college(s) they most want to attend. Applying Early Decision or Early Action is very wise. If youre a high school junior and youre starting to seriously think about where you want to attend college in less than two years from now, weve got some advice for you. If you read nothing else on our college admissions blog, we urge you to apply Early Decision or Early Action to the college(s) you most want to attend. Just take a look at our Ivy League Admissions Statistics if youre not buying into the fact that you should apply Early Decision to Columbia if you dream of being a student there. Or Dartmouth via Early Decision if you dream of being a student there. Or Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, or Yale via Single Choice Early Action if you dream of being a student at one of these institutions. Take a cold hard look at those Ivy League admissions statistics. Notice the disparity in the admissions rate when comparing Regular Decision to Early Decision or Early Action? If you choose not to apply Early, youre applying to a college in which about half the class is already filled through their Early program. Thats the cold hard truth of the matter! Why apply to a college when its already half full? College admissions at the top universities in America is selective enough. Dont make it harder on yourself. The fact of the matter is that you can only attend one college anyway. Unless you transfer. But who wants to transfer? You want to go to a school where youll be happy. Its quite simple. So if you can only attend one college, you might as well commit to that college in the Early round rather than making no commitments and applying to a host of universities in the Regular Decision round. Dont waste your Early card! Its so very valuable. Use it wisely. And absolutely use it!
