<p>Hi. I was wondering if anyone could give me a list of schools that offer the early admissions program. That is, you're allowed to apply to a college at the end of your junior year. Thanks. Also, does anyone know the pros and cons of this process??? Thanks for your help</p>
<p>never heard of that..</p>
<p>i know columbia and cornell both have this, but i'm not sure how it really works. ahs anyone ever been approved under the early admission plan?</p>
<p>Alot of universities have this, harvard, MIT, caltech, yale, princeton, stanford, etc. However, there are different types of early admission. There's normal Early admission where you can apply early and get in, but do not have to go. Then there's Early decision which if you get in, you must go to that college. Then there's Single Choice Early Admission, where if you apply Early Admission there, you can't apply early admission anywhere else. ED and SCEA both show commitment towards one college, so they give you a pretty big boost. However, normal EA gives you a much smaller boost (if any at all). Hope this helps</p>
<p>i thought wake forest had something where you can apply as a junior, but i could be wrong, i didn't apply there.</p>
<p>My college counselor strongly encourages Early action beacause you can feel less stressed out beacuse you will have some college replies by the end of December.</p>
<p>You can apply anywhere you want as a junior I think. Albert Ni (the guy who won National Mathcounts and I think me made MOSP too) got into MIT as a junior and skipped his senior year completely</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon. Or that may be only through their summer program.</p>
<p>Early action = non binding (just like getting your answer some months earlier). Colleges say that you have about the same chances at admission in either regular and early action. The only thing is, schools like Harvard and Yale only allow you to submit an Early Action to 1 private school. I did early action to Carolina.</p>
<p>Early decision = binding. If you get into a school with this, you are required to attend by contractual law. you have a slightly higher chance of admission if you do ED than regular. but then if you get accepted you are required to immediately withdraw all of your other standing applications. i personally never submitted an Early Decision but 3 of my schools had the program (Emory, Vanderbilt, Washington University in St. Louis)</p>
<p>as for the junior thing, i dont believe too many of the top schools allow it unless student is VERY exceptional (I know someone with a perfect 1600 SAT freshman year, youngest student to ever received 36 on ACT (he was even on Good Morning America) who eventually got a full merit scholarship to Duke and even he wasnt able to leave junior year).</p>
<p>Meatlovers thx for your help but that's if you're a senior. there's a separate program for high school juniors who are very accelerated to apply early and get into a college a year earlier. Not that I'm about to do this, but I was just wondering on how it works, the chances, and such and such.</p>
<p>like..for example columbia, this is what it says:
14. Does Columbia allow early admission for high school juniors?
Early admission is granted occasionally to students of special promise who have completed the junior year of secondary/high school and who meet these requirements: </p>
<p>they must have maintained an outstanding academic record in their secondary schools;
they must have the physical, intellectual and emotional maturity to handle the rigorous program at Columbia;
they must have the full endorsement of their secondary/high schools.
Applicants for early admission should follow the normal procedure in applying, but should indicate they are applying for early admission under the Additional Information section of the on-line Application for Admission or write Early Admission on the face of the paper application.</p>
<p>illumin4tus in reply to your post, wow. i didn't know that. i guess the chances are slimmer than applying normally then. thx lol</p>
