Insights by Advitiyam for Applications
Early Decision (ED)
Early Decision (ED) is for students committing to their top-choice college; it’s binding, requiring withdrawal of other applications. Some schools offer two ED deadlines: November (ED I) and December (ED II) for students favoring commitment but needing more time. Both are binding.
Early Action (EA)
This is similar to ED except you are not required to attend if admitted; therefore, it is non-binding. You can apply to many schools EA and will receive your admission decision in December, same as ED.
Single-Choice Early Action (SCEA)
Single Choice Early Action (SCEA), also known as Restrictive Early Action, isn’t binding, but you can’t apply EA or ED elsewhere until you receive the SCEA decision, except for public or state universities. Rules vary; review the fine print before committing.
Late-Stage ED Conversion: A Third Chance to Secure Your Top-Choice College
Colleges allow students to switch their Regular Decision application to ED II by submitting the necessary paperwork after the initial ED II deadline. This offers a third chance to apply to a top-choice school, with a binding commitment upon acceptance, gaining popularity as colleges expand EA and ED options.
