<p>My guidance counselor really stresses people to apply early to schools, and I understand his reasoning.
But, in my situation I think it would be better to apply regular.
My UW GPA is on the lower end for schools I'm interested in, and I feel that if I apply RD, the schools can than take a look at my midyear report and include that in my admissions decision as well.
(Boston University, Northeastern, Roger Williams, Florida State, American?, University of Denver.)
What do you guys think? ED/EA or RD?</p>
<p>the reason you stated (and also the need to compare Fin Aid packages) are the primary reasons why students should not apple early. Best of luck to you knocking out great grades that boost your GPA upward.</p>
