<p>Hey, this is probably a very noob question, but if I apply early action to a school (or to numerous schools) when would my deadline be for notifying them if I'm accepting or declining offers of admission? I'm sure it varies by school, but in general, if I were accepted early action would I still have time to consider schools during the regular decision period or would I need to decide before regular decision deadlines?</p>
<p>when would my deadline be for notifying them if I’m accepting or declining offers of admission?</p>
<p>Usually by May 1st, definintely after you hear back from all regular round schools :]</p>
<p>Okay, just wanted to make sure. Thanks!</p>
<p>You’re welcome.</p>
<p>Just to clarify, Early Action is typically the same as Regular Decision except you submit your application earlier and find out the decision earlier. But nothing else is any different.</p>
