sorry for my ignorance, but i've got a question.

<p>what does ED and RD mean? :) im new to this so pls be understanding :D</p>

<p>ED= Early Decision</p>

<p>RD= Regular Decision</p>

<p>This may be a good place to list some of the other abbreviations you’ll encounter:</p>

<p>EA= Early Action
SCEA= Single Choice Early Action
HYP= Harvard, Yale, Princeton, sometimes HYPSM (includes Stanford & MIT)</p>

<p>Those are the only ones that immediately come to mind…</p>

<p>Abbreviations compiled here:</p>
