<p>What are the pros/cons of Early Application?</p>
<p>Also, if you get rejected during EA, is it possible for you to reapply during the normal application window?</p>
<p>And finally, would you recommended EA for Ivy League and highly selective schools?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>1) pro: you might find out early you’re admitted to a coveted school – thus you don’t have to apply to as many or any schools afterward</p>
<p>con: you gotta get everything done early. You only have 6 semesters of grades to be evaluated vs. the 7 if you apply Regular</p>
<p>2) no</p>
<p>3) if one of them is truly your clear #1 choice and you’re a viable candidate, then yes.</p>
<p>If you get rejected you can’t reapply. But if you get rejected EA you certainly wouldn’t have gotten in RD.</p>
<p>HYPS has SCEA (you can apply to only 1 EA), other ivies have ED (you must attend if accepted), and MIT, Caltech, UChicago, Georgetown, Notre Dame, and probably more have regular EA. Whether or not I would recommend it depends on the unique situation, but in general you have nothing to lose from regular EA. SCEA and ED is more complicated.</p>
