early decision

Applying to College
1

do you think applying as early decision will give me a higher chance to get into the college?

Depends on the school and your stats. If your stats are below what a school usually admits, you won’t get brownie points for applying early.

Yes, in some cases it can but you should ED to a college for several reasons since ED is binding:

  1. Affordable and you do not need to compare financial aid packages
    2)Your top choice and are willing to attend no matter what.
  2. Has your major

I think if it is your number one and it doesn’t matter how much it will cost then yes do apply ED but it also may seem like you already missed the deadline for some/most schools. Maybe try ED 2. If you are a very high achieving student and have good essays then your ED/RD application doesn’t matter. But if you do not do well and you need the ED kick to show that you would be a good then go for it.
