<p>I'm only a sophmore but i was wondering what early-decision meant and what were the pros and cons of it? I know this probably isn't the right section to post in, so sorry</p>
<p>Early-Decision(ED) means that when you apply to a school ED you will find out earlier whether you got in or not. If you did get in ED you are committed to that school (you have to cancel the rest of your applications and what not) unless you can not afford their financial aid offer.</p>
<p>Pros:
You find out sooner
Usually easier to get in with ED than regular admission</p>
<p>Cons:
If you don't like to school anymore you are stuck because you waived your right to apply anywhere else(you could still transfer later in your college career)</p>
