Are early decision applicants evaluated separately from early action applicants? In other words, do colleges admit students individually from ED and EA, or are they both grouped together?
How does this matter? Will it impact whether you apply or what option you’ll choose?
I’m curious about what which applicants I will be compared to, the ED ones or the EA ones.

Valid question. Especially if you are on the fence between ED and EA. I think you are evaluated separately …but I’m not sure.

Yes, you are evaluated separately, but at the same time. Consider ED/EA/RD to all be separate pools of applicants.
