In this video we go over the different ways you can apply to college.
Early decision
Early decision is binding. This means if you are accepted through early decision, you are committed to attending that school, and will withdraw any applications you may have submitted for the regular deadlines at other schools. You may not apply to more than one college under early decision. If you are not accepted, you will either be rejected or deferred. Rejected applicants may not apply again that year. Deferred applicants will be reconsidered during the regular admission period, and are free to apply to other schools.
Early decision deadlines are often in November, and students are typically notified of the decision in December.
Early action
Early action is non-binding. This means you are not bound to attend if you are accepted. You may also apply early action to multiple colleges. Early action deadlines usually fall at the same time as early decision.
The obvious advantage of early action over early decision is the opportunity it gives you to apply to, and ultimately compare financial aid packages from several schools. If you are accepted early decision, you risk missing the admission deadlines of other schools while you wait for your award package to arrive. If that award is lackluster, your options are fewer.
Some colleges with rolling admission, like Penn State, maintain priority deadlines and give greater consideration to students who submit their applications before a certain date. These priority deadlines are often close to traditional college application deadlines, meaning you won't gain any extra time to apply.
Other schools have housing and/or financial aid systems that operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Individuals accepted later in the rolling admissions cycle may have fewer options. Applying to a college with a rolling admissions policy does not guarantee you'll get accepted. That said, by applying earlier in the application cycle, you may have a better shot at getting in due to the larger number of open spots available at that time. Depending on the school, you may also qualify for certain scholarships if you apply by a certain date or priority deadline.
Regular admissions are one of the most common application options, as you can apply to as many schools as you want under this option. Once the college has received all applications, they are reviewed and all applicants are notified at the same time, during the spring of senior year. If accepted, you must notify the college by May 1 of your intent to accept or decline their office of admission. Applicants who are deferred in the early round will be reconsidered during the RD round. RD acceptances are non-binding, which means you can choose to enroll in that school or another school that has accepted you.
RD is a great option for students who need more time to put together their applications and reach their goal test scores. Students can also apply RD after applying to a number of schools EA, or even after applying to their ED choice. However, if they are accepted to their ED school they must withdraw their application from their RD schools.
Rolling Admission (RA)
Application due: Usually anytime between September 1 and May 1, though it is best to send in your application as early as possible - in September or October of senior year - as RA schools continue to accept students until they reach their enrollment capacity.
Notification: Usually within a few weeks of receiving the completed application and all supporting materials.
Want to have a few acceptances in hand before even early decisions are out in December? Once the RA school receives your completed file, they immediately review and act on your application. The college generally notifies the applicant of an admissions decision within several weeks of receiving the application. This means if you submit your RA application in early September, you could receive a decision as soon as October. You can apply to as many RA schools as you want, and there is no commitment to attend if admitted. Just like with RD, you have until May 1 to decide where to enroll. Schools such as Rutgers University, Purdue University, and Baylor University use rolling admissions.
