I remember trying to answer these questions myself. Now, I want to help break down the questions for you!
For some seniors in high school, these thoughts may be swirling in their heads. What is Early Decision? Should I take the chance and apply?
Let’s tackle the first question: what exactly is Early Decision.
Simply, Early Decision (ED) is applying to a school early. Also, you will receive notification if you are accepted, deferred (to the Regular Decision pool) or rejected earlier as well. That is all. However, there is one caveat: if accepted, you are legally bound to attend the college and cannot apply to other schools.
Should I take the chance to apply?
If you know that the college is your first-choice, and you would LOVE to spend four years there, then go for it! But, if you have any hesitations about attending the college, consider waiting for the Regular Decision round. This way, you will have more time to think about the college you really want to attend.
Remember, you never want to rush into a decision and then regret the outcome.
Do you plan on applying ED?
Good luck!
Thank you for stopping by.
Sincerely,
Serena
