What does Early Decision or Early Action mean?
Some colleges and universities offer “early” application deadlines, for students who already know where they want to apply. Early Decision is for the student who knows where they want to attend and they agree to a contract with the college or university. The contract states that should you be admitted to their college or university you will attend their campus and withdraw your applications from the other colleges and universities. Early Action is also for the student who knows where they want to attend, but it is more flexible. You do not have to commit to a contract with the college or university. You just apply early and you receive a decision earlier.
