hey guys so i was planning on applying to Stevens Institute of Technology with early decision, but i want to switch to regular decision. My guidance counselor said she already signed off and submitted my early decision approval, but I have not submitted my application yet. Also, I never signed off on the ED student agreement and authorization on common app yet. I switched my plan back to regular decision on common app already. My question is, will there be a problem with this? I don’t want to be put in early decision. I’m okay since I never approved right? Thanks in advance!
You are allowed to change from ED to RD even if your GC already signed and sent the form. Your common app says RD and that should be good enough. You might want to shoot them an email just to reconfirm in case someone’s not paying attention, but it shouldn’t be a problem. And just so you know, lots of people change their minds and switch from ED to RD for lots of reasons, so this shouldn’t hurt you. (You just lose that little extra boost that comes when a school know they are your first choice - it helps their acceptance rate since they get 100% of applicants accepting from ED.)
thank you so much! This really put my mind to rest haha. Thanks for your help!
