Which schools offer Early Decision Round 2?

I'm exploring schools with Early Decision Round 2 options since my application wasn't ready for ED1. Does anyone know which colleges offer this? I'm trying to maximize my chances!

Absolutely, a number of colleges do offer Early Decision Round 2 (ED2), which has a later deadline than Early Decision Round 1 (ED1). ED2 still requires a binding commitment, just like ED1, but gives you a bit more time to decide if that school is really your top choice.

Here are some colleges that offer ED2:

- Vanderbilt University

- Tufts University

- Syracuse University

- NYU (New York University)

- University of Chicago

- Boston University

- Brandeis University

- Colby College

- Emory University

- Pomona College

- Johns Hopkins University

- Bowdoin College

- Bryn Mawr College

- Washington University in St. Louis

Again, as with any Early Decision plan, do ensure that the school is indeed your first choice. Also, keep in mind the financial implications as you will be bound to attend if admitted and provided adequate financial aid. Most schools have net price calculators on their websites, so you can get a rough estimate of what you might be expected to pay. It's also a great idea to reach out to the school's financial aid office if you have any specific questions. Keep up the hard work—best of luck with your applications!
