Chalk Talk: Early Action
Early Action (EA) is a type of college application that has become pretty popular lately. The biggest difference between it and other application types is its due-date, which tends to be November 15th. This can be a challenging deadline for students to meet, but the benefits might outweigh the challenge. Another benefit is that Early Action applications are nonbinding, so students aren’t under any obligation to attend that college if accepted. This is especially useful if they receive a more competitive package from another college, for example. Due to its early deadline and the commitment this demonstrates, Early Action applicants are given a higher acceptance rate than Regular Decision applicants.
