<p>I'm trying to decide if I should finish up my application really fast for the Early Action deadline today or wait for the regular decision in January so I can revise my essays (just wrote them today). Does anybody know the rate of acceptance for both? </p>

<p>I've heard that it's easier to get in if you apply early, but I've also heard the opposite. Any opinions or definite answers, or is this just speculation? I had great grades/activities/involvement for the first part of highschool but was withdrawn/failed a year in the middle; I'm so scared I won't get in. :(</p>

<p>Which option would be better for me?</p>

<p>According to the UNC website, you don’t have any advantage to applying early action. You just find out earlier.</p>

<p>^True. There’s also a slightly higher acceptance rate for Early Action, but that’s only because more stronger candidates apply EA.</p>
