<p>So what's a typical ED student?</p>
<p>I've heard that ED applicants have a higher chance of getting in while RDs difficult because there are more students in the stack. However, I don't know a thing about these.
1What are the advantages/disadvantages of ED?
2Do you need to be a qualified student in order to go for EA?</p>
<p>any other info about ED will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>thank you.</p>
<p>1) Advantages: You find out sooner if you're in at a college, you do have a better chance (most of the time)
Disadvantages: You can't compare financial packages, You can't apply to other colleges</p>
<p>2) I've heard that the more qualified people apply during ED.</p>
<p>can I apply for more than one college for ED?</p>
<p>so for example if i got accepted from Yale and Dartmouth but both from EA, then I can;t apply to others for RD and need to choose only one of them?</p>
<p>there is a difference between EA and ED</p>
<p>Early Action ~ find out whether you are in early</p>
<p>Early Decision ~ find out whether you are in early, AND IF YOUR ACCEPTED you MUST ATTEND this school</p>
<p>"2) I've heard that the more qualified people apply during ED."</p>
<p>not necessarily, i was borderline, and applied ED because NYU had a higher rate of acceptance among ED'ers</p>
<p>at my school, the smartest kids didnt apply to any colleges ED, theyre all applying to great schools RD to compare aid packages</p>
<p>Well....ED is harder to get into with the Ivies.</p>
<p>ED = you can apply to only 1 college</p>
<p>EA = apply to as many colleges as you want EA</p>
<p>so ED AND EA basically the same ?</p>
<p>"Well...ED is harder to get into with the Ivies." What do you mean glucose? Harder than NYU? Harder than RD?</p>
<p>ED: Early Decision. You can only apply to one school and you are bound to go there. You find out earlier, and you must withdraw your applications to all other schools. Many schools allow you to apply places Early Decision and Early Action (check with the school), but you must withdraw your Early Action application if you are accepted Early Decision.</p>
<p>EA: Early Action. You can apply there early, and find out early, but you aren't bound to go there. You can apply to more than one school early action. You can respond at the same time as your regular decision colleges (usually May 1).</p>
<p>EASC: Early Action Single Choice. Like Early Action, this is non-binding (reply date usually May 1). However, you can only apply to one school Early Action Single Choice, unlike Early Action (where the number of schools you may apply to is unlimited).</p>
