Is Early Decision II Binding?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi guys! I'm kind of confused by the whole Early Decision/Early Action thing. I understand that Early Decision is binding, and Early Action is not.. However, one of the schools I'm looking at has:</p>

<p>Early Decision I (November 15th)
Early Decision II ( January 15th)
Regular Decision (February 1st)</p>

<p>I remember them saying on the tour that they did not have Early Action, so my question is; what is the purpose of Early Decision II? (okay, more like questions)
Like Early Decision I , is Early Decision II binding? Why would someone apply Early Decision II instead of I-- is it more for people who were waiting for SAT/ACT scores or grades-- or is it more for people who found the school late?</p>

<p>I guess there's no purpose to why I'm asking-- I'm just sort of curious!</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>p.s. sorry i know there are a lot of questions on early decision etc. but i had a hard time finding an answer to early decision II</p>

<p>1) yes, ED II is binding</p>

<p>2) the reason that EDII exists is for people who have a second (first) choice and are not accepted to their first ED/SCEA school on Dec 15th…</p>

<p>3) the other reason that EDII exists is for students whose grade trend is rising and they want their transcripts to reflect their senior year stellar grades!!</p>

<p>4) waiting to retake SAT/ACT again</p>

<p>5) Not ready to “pull the trigger” by Nov 1st but have an awakening by January…</p>

<p>Hope this helps…</p>
