  • Is Applying Early Right for You?
    Is Applying Early Right for You? [email protected] | TC Williams King St A-115 | 703.824.6730 © 2018 The Scholarship Fund of Alexandria All rights reserved. Written consent required for reproduction or distribution. What factors should you take into consideration when deciding whether to apply regular decision or early? Students should only apply early if they are happy with their college essays and grades from AP/DE courses taken prior to senior year. It is very important not to rush an early application. However, if a student feels ready to go with their applications in the fall, there can be some benefits to considering Early Action/Early Decision. Early Action/Early Decision Students who have a 3.75+ GPA and are enrolled in AP/DE courses should consider applying early. Ivy Leagues and many highly selective colleges accept almost 50% of their freshman class through Early Action/Early Decision. Applications are typically due in October or November of senior year. Early Action (EA): Accepted students are not required to attend EA college. Early Decision (ED): Accepted students are required to attend ED college and withdraw other college applications. o Because ED is binding, it is important that students with financial need apply ONLY to colleges that guarantee to meet 100% of the student’s financial need (please see the list of colleges that guarantee to meet 100% of financial need on p. 14). o Only families that can afford to pay the full cost of college out of pocket should apply ED to colleges that are not included on this list.
