Chalk Talk: ED vs. EDII
Students are looking for any leg up to help them get into college. Early Decision (ED) is an early, binding application. It benefits students by establishing their serious commitment to this college as well as letting them apply while competing against fewer other applicants, since it’s early. Since it is binding, students can only apply to one college at a time with ED. They can apply to other schools, but if the one they applied ED to accepts them, that’s where they’re going. But if the student is rejected or waitlisted, s/he is free to apply elsewhere ED. Unfortunately, the deadlines have usually passed for this, which is where EDII comes in. This is a second round of ED available to students. Usually, students who’ve applied to competitive schools and are waitlisted or rejected will apply EDII to a second tier school. All the same rules apply as with ED, just a later deadline.
