Not applying early and feeling guilty about it...

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm basically the only one out of my (very smart) group of friends who isn't applying early action to some prestigious college. And for some reason I feel bad about it - as if this puts me at a level beneath the rest of them. I mean, I've heard that applying early doesn't necessarily make it easier to get in, and that you should only apply early if you're pretty committed to going to a certain school (which I'm not). But I can't help but feel like I'll regret it later...</p>

<p>What are your thoughts on/experiences with applying early action? Would it be worth it to try and finish everything this week by Nov 1, or should I just apply regular decision and make sure my application is perfect?</p>

<p>i honestly would not rush to get an application in early. just think, your friends who apply early and are admitted, don’t get the satisfaction of getting into a handful of schools, including safeties, the regular decision round and miss out then.</p>

<p>Are any of your apps for schools with rolling admissions? If so, you’ll hear soon about those.</p>

<p>It’s kind of late to do an EA. Would you be able to get a transcript sent and any teacher recs sent in time?</p>

<p>Peer Pressure is a childish thing. It’s time to put away childish things… :)</p>
