<p>okay, so I know that EA is Early Action, but what’s the benefit of it? It’s different than ED, right?</p>
<p>Essentially getting your decision earlier instead of waiting until April 1st, especially if it’s a school you really like.</p>
<p>Plus it’s not binding and you can apply to as many early as you want. Win! </p>

<p>And your end of junior year grades might be better than your first semester senior year. So if you apply EA, colleges will see up to your junior grades, make a decision, and THEN ask for a midyear report. As long as you don’t do terrible first semester senior year, they won’t rescind (I hope.)</p>
<p>Yeah, I think I like the idea of applying EA better than ED.
How early can you apply to schools EA?</p>
<p>The deadlines are usually Nov 1 and Nov 15</p>
<p>I need some advice, friendly people!
I like wellesley, and I’m interested in it and all, but I feel like I’ll be missing out, since it’s all-girls.
do you think that there will be guys around at all in a Wellesley girl’s life? I’m not a very socially active person so I won’t be hitting the clubs or whatever you hip young kids do these days… but guys are a lot of fun and really chill and I feel like I’d be socially deprived without them.</p>
<p>Wellesley isn’t an all girls’ school. It’s all women’s (there’s a huge difference.)</p>
<p>Women who choose Wellesley don’t have to consider not applying because there aren’t guys. They’re drawn to the empowering atmosphere, etc. </p>
<p>It’s in a city so there are guys, and there is cross-registration. If you want to meet guys, you have to be more social. </p>
<p>It’s an amazing school, don’t let the single sex-ness throw you off. If it does, it’s not a good choice for you.</p>
