Is Early Decision II considered binding like ED I?

Hey guys, quick clarification needed – I know that when you apply Early Decision I you're committed to going there if you get in, but does that also apply to Early Decision II programs? Or are they less strict on the binding agreement?

a year ago

Hey there! Early Decision II (ED II) is indeed 100% binding, just like Early Decision I (ED I), so if you're accepted, you are expected to enroll unless the financial aid package doesn't make it feasible for you. You'll be required to withdraw any other applications you submitted Regular Decision, and commit to attending the institution where you were accepted ED II. So, you should only apply ED II to a school that is undoubtedly your top choice.

Hope that helps clear things up!
