<p>Does submitting an application early, say in August instead of October, positively effect your chances?</p>
<p>@Eniam666 Can you even submit an application in as early as August?!</p>
<p>@Hoolala Yes! There are some schools accepting applications now I believe. </p>
<p>I’m either going to apply SCEA to UChicago or Stanford and then EA to Chapel Hill and public universities. </p>
<p>Columbia ED</p>
<p>@tola2015 just so you know UChicago Early Action isn’t single choice so you could still apply to other schools early if you did EA!</p>
<p>Yale SCEA</p>
<p>@gauravk306 but if I apply to Stanford SCEA then I can’t apply to UChicago EA because isn’t the rule you can’t apply early to any other private universities. </p>
<p>You certainly can do your interviews before submitting (in fact most only do interviews up until sometime early winter), but you don’t necessarily have to in the case of EA.</p>
<p>could i apply to Cornell ED and Princeton SCEA at same time?</p>
<p>Applying EA to UMass Amherst, Hofstra, Rider, and Monmouth. I’m also applying to Quinnipiac under Rolling Admission.</p>
<p>I’m starting the second draft of my Common App essay today.</p>
<p>EDing to either Middlebury or Duke. Most likely Duke. EAing to Fordham, Temple, Tulane, and UMiami. I’ve already applied rolling to University of Alabama.</p>
<p>I’ve written two extra curricular essays (150 words and 250 words) and now I’m working on drafting my Common App.</p>
<p>@dancingwriter You’ve probably already researched this, but just a heads up that you’ll want to check Middlebury or Duke’s website about whether or not they allow you to ED to their school AND EA to other schools. I believe most schools don’t allow you to apply both early decision and early action.</p>
<p>PS I’m probably going to do Midd ED :)</p>
<p>Applying ED to UPenn
A bit nervous though</p>
<p>@encord what is your intended major? </p>
<p>@Eniam666 I’m applying to Wharton. Hopefully to major in Finance.
Are you also applying to Penn?</p>
<p>@Encord I was planning on applying to Wharton but opted out because there is such high standards. Between the interview, essays, and a 4 point something percent acceptance rate, I decided my stats were not solid enough to spend the time and effort. What other schools are you looking at? I would like to major in accounting and minor in international business, so I’m looking at Boston College, Georgetown, Wake Forest, Chapel Hill, and UT Austin. </p>
<p>@Eniam666 Yeah I heard of the crazy acceptance rate but I decided to give it a shot anyway. I’m also looking at Georgetown and some other schools which don’t have an undergraduate business program like Dartmouth, Williams, Duke and possibly Swarthmore.</p>
<p>@encord Well good luck! If you get into Wharton that is huge! Same with all the other schools. </p>
<p>@Eniam666 Lol…if I get in I think I’ll cry. But I’m trying to not get too attached to it so that a possible rejection won’t feel so bad.
Yeah good luck with your schools too!! I’m sure we’ll both do fine in the end.</p>
