Hey, I would really appreciate your input!
Really stuck on if I should ED or not :expressionless:

Only taking one AP this year, rest are either accelerated courses or honors (APES)

I am interested in majoring in communications
Looking for a school around 4,000-8,000 undergrads
Would prefer having D1 Sports because I basically live and breath sports! Also club opportunities! (sports and band)

Right now I think my first choice is Providence College, but I am too indecisive to ED at the moment cause I would like to know where else I get in. Would appreciate your thoughts!!!

Also applying to Marist, Loyola Maryland, Gettysburg, Fordham, Dickinson, Villanova, Ithaca, and prob a few others

Thanks.

Based on my older’s stats and the fact he got in (2017) with a small amount of merit, I would think you would have a strong chance of getting in. Your ECs are awesome and your GPA/ACT stats are darn good also. Whether to apply Early Decision or not is up to you. Both my kids steered away from that since they didnt have a clear cut number one choice. Have you considered Early Action?

My daughter had slightly higher GPA, same ACTs. She had very strong extra-curriculars. I can’t remember exact details, I think she applied EA (definitely not ED). She was either waitlisted or deferred. A couple of other kids from her very competitive MA high school were denied (but at least one was accepted). The decisions seemed not very predictable, so if you know your want to go there, I would think about ED.
