The Pros and Cons of Applying Early This Fall
An Admissions Counselor’s Top Considerations for Applying to College Early
By Carolyn, IvyWise College Admissions Counselor

And with the change in the seasons, of course, comes the first wave of college application deadlines. Over the past several years, applying early to colleges has become a popular trend, and many colleges have developed a multi-deadline admissions process that might include Early Action, Early Decision, Single-Choice Early Action, and/or Regular Decision options. Whether or not to apply early can be a stressful decision even in “normal” years, but even more so in the current application cycle that is already rife with change and uncertainty.
