Hello! I've got a few schools on my list that I'd love to attend and I want to increase my chances of getting into one of them. Is there a limit to the number of schools I can apply to under Early Decision? Thanks!
Hello! It's great to hear that you're considering Early Decision (ED) applications to increase your chances of getting into one of your top schools. However, you can only apply Early Decision to one school. This is because ED agreements are binding, meaning if you are accepted, you commit to attending that school and withdrawing all other applications. You can, however, apply to additional schools using non-binding Early Action (EA) or Regular Decision options. Remember to carefully review each school's specific ED, EA, and Regular Decision policies before submitting your applications. Best of luck!
