Is there an advantage to applying Early Action as opposed to Regular Decision?
The standards used for the admission review are the same for both the Early Action and Regular Decision groups. There is no competitive advantage to applying early or waiting for the Regular deadline. Most importantly, when considering Early Action, the Committee on Admission wants you to make the choice that is best for you in your overall college search. When considering Early Action you want to be confident that you are presenting the best application possible by the November 1 deadline, meaning you are satisfied with your standardized test scores and you feel that your curriculum and academic success will remain fairly consistent in your senior year, as we will only see your academic work through the junior year. Please note: a deny decision at the Early Action stage is a final decision; the student will not be reviewed again in the Regular Decision process.
