<p>Two colleges that I'm applying to can be applied early action. Should I apply early action to them, even though my grades might not be as good as the ones from junior year? Also, I'll be involved in 2 more extracurricular activities this year. I don't know what to do.</p>
<p>And if I'm deferred to regular decision, can I send changes to the colleges or will the same information from the early action application be used for regular decision?</p>
<p>if you think your application sitll has room for imporvement wait until RD. If you dont' think it'll make THAT much of a difference, apply EA. However, EA doesn't usually give as much advantage as ED, if any at all, so keep that in mind.</p>
<p>Does having so-so senior grades have a big impact on applications if I had great 9th to 11th grade grades?</p>
<p>You have it backwards. If your senior grades are so-so, you should definitely apply EA, because the admissions officers won't see any of those grades before their decision.</p>
<p>If you are deferred to the RD round, your school will send in your first semester senior grades and you can send a brief letter adding new information that you think is important to your application.</p>
