Hello everyone! I hope y’all are preparing to start the much daunting college application process. This is an official thread, add your friends/haters/lovers/cousins/brother etc. to this. Also, this is mainly for the people who will apply to the US, so you are requested to not spam others if you aren’t applying to the USA. (no offence)
Heyy! Are you applying ED or EA somewhere?
P.S. Good Luck to everyone!!
I will do ED to a reach and EA to safeties. What about you?? Are you done with the essays and all?
But can’t you apply early to one place only? I might be wrong but that’s how I think it goes…
No I’m not…
It’s getting to me though, the stress and all XD
yeah you’re right but only partially. So basically you can ED (early decision) to one place only because it is binding. If you get accepted there, with a decent aid package, you’ll have to go. But you can decline the offer if the aid isn’t good enough. While you can ED to one school only, you can EA (Early action) to as many schools as you want, because early action isn’t binding anyway. Getting accepted to a school where you EA doesn’t mean you have to go there, however, this doesn’t include the ivies which have restricted early action, meaning if you EA there, you can’t EA or ED anywhere else. People usually apply early to safeties because the decision come out by mid-February (I think). This assures the person that they have gotten into a college, and now they can apply to any reach, target schools without having to worry about ending up with no acceptances.
Where are you Eding BTW? If its an ivy then you can’t EA/ED anywhere else. I hope this helps. Don’t let this daunting process confuse you, we’ll get-in to a good college, i know. 
I’m applying resrictive EA. But it’s at one one of my top three schools.
That’s so sweet of you. You’ll make your dream school too GOOD LUCK

Congratulations on your acceptance!!
I think you have a good chance of getting into all these colleges. Good Luck!
The ED/EA decisions are less than a month away I’m so nervous. Where have you guys applied ED/EA to?
@MalikBehn I applied EA to Temple, Miami, OSU, UMASS, Purdue, and Binghamton. Have gotten into Delaware, Temple, and Pitt as of now.
@itwasawedding congratulations on your acceptances!! Did you have interviews for any of these colleges?
Nope
@itwasawedding oh I see I applied ED to UPenn and I still haven’t been contacted for an interview so I was a bit nervous
Calm down, guys! Everything’s gonna be fine
@madiefarts123 I hope so! Where have you applied early?
Abhi kahan. I was supposed to be applying to a college, but my inner instinct said, na, baba, it’s not the one you’ve been looking for. Sounds crazy, right. BTW people have been contacted for the UPenn interview, why don’t you email them and ask? Even last year a friend was called for an interview in Mumbai (She applied to Stanford though, but all the biggies work the same way, I guess). Dekho baat karo admission officers se, I hope ho jaye tumhara. Where in Pakistan are you from though?
So you didn’t apply early kaheen bhi? Oh nahi its cool got an interview call two days ago lol. Lahori hain jee where are you from?
That’s great! Good Luck!!
Just out of curiosity, do you request interviews at Penn or did they offer you one khudi se?
Thank you!! And nope you don’t have to request for it. They offer one themselves.
