PLEASE help me decide abt Early Action!!

<p>Hey everyoneee so I'm thinking about applying early to a few NON-binding early actions programs :]</p>

<p>I'm considering:
Stanford
Caltech
Princeton
Columbia
Yale</p>

<p>Please tell me a little about 1) number of people who actually apply EA to each school, 2)accept rate for EA (estimate is fine), 3)binding or nonbinding?</p>

<p>or if you know a website that provides this info please let me know :]</p>

<p>your help is greatly appreciated!! thanks in advance :]</p>

<p>All this info should be in the colleges’ respective Common Data Sets (section C22). Also, it will tell you if the college actually has EA, since I don’t think all of these schools do, though I’m not sure.</p>

<p>nopee the info isnt there D: all it tells me is if the college offers EA and if it’s binding or nonbinding… :&lt;/p>

<p>HELPPPP!!</p>

<p>Columbia has ED and Princeton has nothing early</p>

<p>Yale and Stanford both have restrictive EA, its non-binding, but you can only apply to that school EA</p>

<p>hmmm which school is relatively easier to get into for EA? :] i know stanford is like impossible for EA… everyone’s super competitive ><</p>

<p>All the schools you list are super competitive.</p>

<p>i<3cookies. go to the schools admissions websites, they all tell you about their admissions process.</p>

<p>It’s pretty annoying when kids keep posting on here for information thats so readily available in obvious places. It’s hard to imagine such people get into good schools.</p>

<p>Anyway, to learn about Stanford admissions, go to stanford.edu (obviously) and they have an admissions link.</p>

<p>well i just can’t really find the acceptance rate for ED…</p>

<p>Stanford
EA applied: 5363

Total RD pool: 25995

<p>Yale

<p>Columbia
ED applied: 2441

<p>Caltech

<p>Princeton

<p>Many kids who want a quick impressive outcome apply EA to both Caltech and MIT (MIT’s not on your list though while Caltech is). Both are not restricted EA. Of course, you have to have the stats and ECs to match first.</p>
