<p>I suggest retaking your SATs first. Only apply early if your stats are as good as they can get. Just my humble opinion.</p>

<p>Take the SAT in October, if you score good, apply EA.</p>

<p>I can not retake the SATs again as being an international student I have my CIE A Level exams in October-November. So, please give me advice based on this data.</p>

<p>Then it shouldn’t make any difference. I was told when visiting the campus, that the same students should get in early as those who get in regular deadline. The reason there’s a higher acceptance rate early is because the earlier pool tends to be stronger. If you’re ready to complete the application, then go ahead and apply early. Then, if you don’t get in, you can move on to your other choices. 6% is not great odds for anyone, so no one should count on it. I’m not sure if the odds are different for internationals, but I’ll bet someone on this forum does. You seem like a very accomplished student. Good luck to you.</p>

<p>One more thing… if you think you could improve on your SATs, consider taking them in December and applying regular decision. I believe test scores can still arrive in time, but you’d have to inquire about that.</p>
