<p>Simple question - aside from the top Ivies, MIT, Stanford which are all EA and I probably don't have a snowball's chance in hell at getting in, what are the best universities with early eaction instead of early decision? Also, do any of the good LAcs have EA instead of ED period? Thanks.</p>
<p>University of Chicago?</p>
<p>Definitely University of Chicago...</p>
<p>I might be wrong, but I think that only the best schools offer EA because they know that, either way, they'll get qualified applicants. The lesser schools use ED to cement their class early on...</p>
<p>A word of advice...finalize your college list early...and then apply EA to all of the schools on your list that have it...itll save you much time and energy when applying RD and will, hopefully, give you early acceptances so you wont have to worry about safeties...</p>
<p>You'll thank me later...</p>
<p>Chicago is probably my top choice as far as reach schools go - it's partially why I wanted to ask this question, because if I got accepted to a long(er) shot ED school and Chicago I would probably end up ****ed that I couldn't go to Chicago.</p>
<p>edit: jake - thanks for the advice. Right now my list is pretty short at Chicago (reach), UNC (match, I'm in-state), and NC State (safety); but the last two are only because I have personally been to both colleges and know many more people who attend them than other schools (I know I would be happy at either of them), so I would like to broaden my spectrum to more out-of-state schools.</p>
<p>bigjake: harvard used to be non single choice EA, but then they got pressure from other universities because harvard was drawing all of the cross admits and leaving the other univerisities with depleted yield rates.</p>
<p>UChicago
Notre Dame
UMich (rolling is basically the same thing)
GTown (single choice early action - They are good enough to copy Harvard, Stanford, etc.)
UNC
Case
Tulane</p>
<p>Georgetown is not single choice early action. Georgetown's EA policy prevents you from applying ED or SCEA, but you may apply to non-SCEA EA programs.</p>
<p>St. Joesph's University- PHilly</p>
<p>University of Georgia, Fordham, Wisconsin(rolling), CalTech</p>
<p>qwert...Harvard would never feel obliged to change its policy because it inconvenienced a bunch of other schools.</p>
<p>WPI, and i think RPI too. (that is if you're interested in a tech school)</p>
<p>Some LAC's offer BOTH ED and EA. Examples: St. Olaf, Lawrence U. Other LACs with just EA: Goucher, Lewis & Clark, Willamette but there are many others out there.</p>
<p>uchicago notre dame georgetown</p>
<p>Boston College is EA</p>
<p>If you go to the library or to a Borders or like bookstore and peruse the big fat college directories, many have a list of colleges that offer ED and EA. Now, you do have to look up each on their website and read each application individually and carefully for the rules pertaining to the specific type of admissions each college offers, but that can give you a big start. I have noticed that a lot of Catholic colleges offer the EA option.</p>
<p>Don't forget MIT!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Yeah! Apply to Boston College!!</p>
<p>Rice has Interim decision, which is later than their ED program, but earlier than RD - and ID is non-binding.</p>
