<p>Naviance lists the application and acceptance stats of "Early" and "Regular" applications. Which category would include Early Action? I am assuming that their early stats would include binding Early Decision and not Early Action, which would be included under the Regular stats. Any feedback appreciated</p>
<p>Our school breaks it down by early decision (a circle around the dot) and early action (a yellow flag). Ask your guidance counselor about this, but I’d think “early” includes both categories. It’s helpful to distinguish the two.</p>
<p>thanks toledo. Unfortunately our school only distinguishes between early and regular and we don’t have the yellow flags that you do. You are right, though, it is very helpful to have ED, EA and RD separated.</p>
<p>Most schools only have EA or ED, so it’s pretty obvious from context which it refers to.</p>
<p>mathmom, how is it obvious? If a college offers ED, Early Action and Regular Decision options, and our Naviance sytem only breaks it into Early and Regular, it is not clear to me which category Early Action would fall. I would like to think it would fall under Early but since it is non-binding I wonder if it is classified under Regular. I asked our high school this question last week and they had no idea. I am not sure I understand your response, can you clarify? Thanks</p>
<p>If a school offers early action and the Naviance scattergram or charts has either a column or different color for “Early” what else would it be? I’m not sure I’m understanding your question, but I don’t know of any schools that offer both EA and ED, all the ones I’ve seen it’s one or the other. (That said I don’t know how they treat rolling admissions in Naviance.) Our school doesn’t show the difference on the scattergrams, but does give admit rates and highs and lows for the schools in the school stats area. For a school like Georgetown (EA only), early refers to Early Action applicants. For a school like Vassar (ED only) early refers to Early Decision applicants.</p>
<p>I can’t help you, but wanted to confirm that some schools DO offer both, which is the situation the OP is referring to. (I know Kalamazoo College offers both, just to throw out one example.)</p>
<p>University of Miami and Elon both offer both ED and EA also. </p>
<p>I believe that the early numbers include both EA and ED. For schools with EA only (no ED)that is the way it is presented. This does make the data more difficult to interpret.</p>
<p>If the school offers both, you’ll have to ask the people at your school - they are the ones who input the data. If they can’t remember you are out of luck. I’d guess the counselors would put both in the early column. Only one person from our school has ever applied to Kalamazoo BTW, and they didn’t apply early.</p>
