In this episode, Lisa, Jeff, and Jennie discuss:
- The different types of early college applications and what they each mean.
- Navigation strategies and deadlines for early applications.
- Which students will benefit from early applications, and which might not.
- What the data really says about early application acceptance rates.
Key Takeaways:
- Because Early Decision (ED1 and ED2) is a binding contract that the student, parent, and high school counselor sign stating the student will enroll if admitted, only one early decision application can be submitted.
- Most colleges do not give an admission advantage for early action.
- Single Choice Early Action and Restricted Early Action are two names for the same thing. Read the fine print carefully as the rules vary greatly by school.
- Just because ED is available does not mean it is the right decision for everyone. If your teen isn’t in love with a school or is relying on financial aid, it is likely not the right choice.
“The data is not the reason why you should make your decision about where to apply ED. There are a number of reasons that I think are more important. Particularly, is this a school that you love more than any other school on your list?” – Jeff Levy
