Early Action
Early Action is a college application process where students submit their applications earlier than the regular deadline, usually in the fall. If accepted, students have the option to confirm their enrollment early or wait until the regular decision deadline to decide. Unlike Early Decision, which is binding, Early Action is non-binding, meaning students are not obligated to attend if admitted. It allows applicants to learn college decisions sooner, reduce stress, and explore other options without commitment. Overall, Early Action provides a proactive approach to college planning with greater flexibility.
