Hi, I'm considering applying to college via Early Decision, but I'm not sure which schools offer it. Can anyone help me compile a list of schools with ED programs?

Sure, I can definitely help you with that! Many colleges and universities offer Early Decision as an option for applicants. Please note that this list is not exhaustive, but it should give you a good starting point. Some of the well-known schools with Early Decision programs include:

1. Amherst College

2. Babson College

3. Barnard College

4. Bowdoin College

5. Brown University

6. Carleton College

7. Carnegie Mellon University

8. Colby College

9. Colgate University

10. College of William & Mary

11. Colorado College

40. Vassar College

41. Wake Forest University

42. Washington University in St. Louis

Keep in mind that Early Decision is a binding agreement, and if you're admitted, you're expected to enroll in the institution. Make sure to research each school thoroughly before deciding where to apply. Additionally, some of these schools have ED II programs, which have a later deadline, giving you more time to decide but also with the same binding agreement. Good luck with your college application process!
