🔑 Key Terms: When to Apply
🔑 Key Terms: When to Apply
Early Action (Oct. 15 - Nov. 15) EA is not binding - Apply to as many of these as you can.
Early Decision (Oct. 15 - Nov. 15) ED is a binding agreement - there are times when you can get out for financial reasons, but you should only do this if you are 100% certain you want to go to this school.
Single Choice Early Action is a type of early action plan that places restrictions on the student’s ability to apply early action or early decision to other schools.
Rolling Admission is when colleges make the decision as soon as they get applications. Apply early to these!
Regular Decision is where you have longer to submit your application and then you find out typically in March or early April about the school’s decision.
