Confused by EA, ED, REA, and Rolling applications? 🎓 How you apply to college matters just as much as where you apply! Here is a quick breakdown to help navigate your options:
• EA (Early Action): Non-binding. Apply early (usually by 10/15 or 11/1), decide by May 1.
• ED (Early Decision): Apply early (usually by 11/1). Binding. If accepted, you must attend!
• REA (Restricted Early Action): Apply early (usually by 11/1). Non-binding, but restricts applying early elsewhere.
• Rolling: Reviewed as received. Applying early gives you the best edge!
