EARLY DECISION VS. EARLY ACTION

As one applies to college, something that may
come up is Early Decision and Early Action.
Hopefully this can help:

Early Decision

* You absolutely agree to attend that college if
accepted
* You may only apply to one college in the
method of Early Decision
* You apply in October or November and
receive an answer by December
* You may apply to other colleges under the
regular process
* If accepted, you must withdraw all other
applications from other schools
* You will typically be required to give a
nonrefundable deposit by May

Early Action

* Similar to Early Decision, however, not binding
* Apply in October or November and receive
an answer by December
* If accepted, you may commit then or in the
Spring
* May apply to other colleges under Early
Action as well
* May apply to other colleges under regular
admissions process
