<p>Is there an advantage for the EA applicant, especially in a year when the number applications at Stony Brook might be quite high?</p>
<p>Officially, no.</p>
<p>But you're right, I think we're going to see a record number of apps this year.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Lol and I thought my year it was going to be high.</p>
<p>Ea looks good to the school, it shows your are committed, and want to go there. If you do that, compared to applying last minute, it looks better. When you apply last minute, schools think you are just using it as a back up, or don't really care. The earlier you apply, the better it looks.</p>
