Benefits of Accepting Early Action Admittance Right Away

DS accepted quickly, because it was his first choice, but he didn’t accept immediately. He got no material advantage, but he did get the peace of mind of knowing that he was done. He was getting some pressure from classmates to apply elsewhere, more as a trophy than anything else. I asked him, if he could trade his Yale early admossion for any other school in the world, which would it be, and after a reasonable pause, he said he would keep his Yale admission.

He was at peace and could be there for his friends who were still awaiting decisions.
