Frequently Asked Questions
-
It's best to start your college applications early in your senior year of high school. Ideally, begin preparing in the summer before your senior year. Early Action and Early Decision deadlines are typically in November, providing early responses. Regular Decision deadlines are generally in January, but some schools may have deadlines as early as December or as late as February.
-
Early Action and Early Decision both allow students to apply to college early and receive their admission decisions sooner. The key difference is that Early Decision is binding. If you apply Early Decision and are accepted, you must attend that college and withdraw all other applications. Early Action, on the other hand, is non-binding, meaning you can apply to other colleges and do not have to commit to attending if accepted.
