List of Early Action Colleges?

Hey guys! I'm starting to work on my college applications and want to apply to some schools with early action deadlines. Can anyone help me out with a list of colleges that offer early action, or possibly direct me to a good resource for this info? Thanks a million!

Sure, I can give you a list of some popular colleges with Early Action (EA) deadlines. Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list, and you should check each college's website to confirm their application deadlines and EA policies. Here are some EA colleges to consider:

1. Harvard University (Restrictive Early Action)

2. University of Notre Dame (Restrictive Early Action)

3. Yale University (Single-Choice Early Action)

4. Georgetown University (Restrictive Early Action)

5. Stanford University (Restrictive Early Action)

6. Princeton University (Single-Choice Early Action)

7. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

8. California Institute of Technology (Caltech) (Restrictive Early Action)

9. University of Chicago

10. Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech)

13. University of Michigan

14. UNC-Chapel Hill

15. University of Virginia

This list is a mix of Restrictive Early Action (also known as Single-Choice/Restrictive Early Action) and Non-Restrictive Early Action schools. Restrictive Early Action means you can only apply to one private school early (though you can apply to public universities with EA or ED/ED2 with multiple schools). Non-Restrictive Early Action allows you to apply to as many EA schools as you'd like.

For access to a more comprehensive list, CollegeVine is a useful resource. They have a blog where they post articles about college admissions, including a regularly updated list of colleges with early action deadlines. Just search for "Early Action Colleges List" on their website to get the most recent information.

Good luck with your applications!
