Early Decision / Regular Question Help!

<p>Hi I am applying to several early action schools and two regular schools
that offer early decision. </p>

<p>1) Does it make a difference if I send in the application around Nov
for regular admission?</p>

<p>2) Do I ask for the rec letters to my teachers all at once? or should I wait to give envelopes for two ones that are due much later?</p>

<p>3) When essays are optional, is it better to write anyways?</p>

<p>Thanks so much for your help!! :)
Good luck to everyone!!</p>

<p>anyone please?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>No</p></li>
<li><p>You ask all at once - you'll send the same recs to each school.</p></li>
<li><p>Yes, IMO.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>^^^Agree on all 3.</p>

<p>thanks so much!</p>
