Hey, I'm a junior currently researching colleges for next year's applications. Can anyone provide a list of early action non-binding schools? I want to apply early to some colleges but I don't want to commit to just one.
Sure, here's a list of some popular early action (EA) non-binding schools. Keep in mind that this list is not exhaustive, and there are certainly other schools with EA non-binding options that could be a good fit for you.
1. University of Chicago
2. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
3. University of Colorado Boulder
4. Penn State University
5. Georgetown University
6. University of Virginia
7. Georgia Tech
8. University of Michigan
9. Case Western Reserve University
10. Tulane University
11. Northeastern University
12. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
13. University of Miami
14. University of Maryland
15. Virginia Tech
Applying early action allows you to receive an admissions decision sooner than regular decision applicants, usually by mid-December. However, it's important to ensure that you have a strong application and can meet EA deadlines (typically around November 1st).
Lastly, I recommend you double-check each school's website for application deadlines and requirements, as these can change from year to year. And don't hesitate to reach out to their admissions office directly with any questions you may have about the application process - they're there to help, after all!
Good luck!
