Hello, everyone! I want to apply early action to some colleges, but I'm not sure which ones offer it. Does anyone have a list of schools that offer early action applications or any recommendations based on personal experience?
Hi there! I can provide you with a list of popular schools that offer Early Action (EA) application options. Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list, but it should give you an idea of the variety of schools with EA.
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
2. Caltech (California Institute of Technology)
3. University of Chicago
4. Georgetown University
5. University of Notre Dame
6. University of Michigan
7. University of Virginia
8. Georgia Institute of Technology
9. Villanova University
10. Boston College
11. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
12. Northeastern University
13. American University
14. Fordham University
15. Tulane University
In addition to these schools, many public universities and other colleges also offer Early Action options. Before you start applying, double-check the specific EA policies for each school, as they might have different deadlines, requirements, or restrictions. For instance, some schools follow a more restrictive Single-Choice Early Action (also known as Restrictive Early Action) policy, which allows applicants to apply early to only one private institution in the EA pool. Just make sure to carefully research the admissions websites of any schools you consider applying to.
Ultimately, applying EA can be a smart move if you're well-prepared with your application materials and want to receive decisions earlier in the admission cycle. Good luck with your applications!
