List of early decision colleges?

I'm considering applying Early Decision to some schools, could you guys please suggest a list of colleges that offer this option?

Certainly! I've compiled a list of representative colleges and universities that offer Early Decision (ED) application options, sorted by different categories. Please note that this is not a comprehensive list, as there are too many schools offering ED to list all of them, so it's always a good idea to check with individual schools for their specific application deadlines and requirements.

Private National Universities:

1. Brown University

2. Columbia University

3. Cornell University

4. Dartmouth College

5. Duke University

6. Emory University

7. Johns Hopkins University

8. Northwestern University

9. University of Pennsylvania

10. University of Chicago

11. Vanderbilt University

12. Washington University in St. Louis

Public National Universities:

1. University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill

2. University of Virginia

Liberal Arts Colleges:

1. Amherst College

2. Bates College

3. Bowdoin College

4. Colby College

5. Colgate University

6. Davidson College

7. Grinnell College

8. Haverford College

9. Middlebury College

10. Oberlin College

11. Pomona College

12. Swarthmore College

13. Vassar College

14. Wellesley College

15. Wesleyan University

16. Williams College

Remember that Early Decision is binding, meaning that if you're accepted, you'll be expected to attend and withdraw all other college applications. It's essential to be confident in your choice before committing to ED. Applying Early Decision can boost your chances of admission at the school, but make sure you consider factors like financial aid and whether that particular college is a good fit for you before taking the plunge. Good luck!
