Is it easier to get into Princeton or Columbia early? I know Princeton’s early action and Columbia’s early decision, but what do you all think? Thanks!
C is “easier,” in my experience, but both are extremely selective.
I believe schools with an early decision set-up are slightly easier to get into, because schools know that you will attend and they increase their yield that way. At schools with early action, there is no such guarantee. Of course, you still have to be a qualified candidate either way.
