Hi everyone! I'm a junior considering my options for college applications and I'm curious about whether applying early action is generally better than applying regular decision. Does applying early action increase my chances of being accepted compared to submitting a regular decision application? Thanks for your input!
Hey there! I'll share our family's experience with applying early action versus regular decision. My child applied early action to a few schools, and we felt it definitely had some advantages. Applying early action usually gets your application reviewed sooner, and some schools even have a slightly higher acceptance rate for early action applicants compared to regular decision ones. It also allowed my child to receive decisions sooner and ease some of the anxiety about the process.
However, it's important to make sure you're in a good position to apply early action 鈥� your application should be strong and well-prepared. If you feel like you need more time to polish your application or improve your grades, then it might be better to apply regular decision. Ultimately, it'll depend on your individual situation. Best of luck!
