Early Decision

Early Decision is a college admissions process that allows students to apply to a specific college and receive an admission decision earlier than the regular timeline, typically in December. If accepted, the student is committed to attending that institution and must withdraw applications to other colleges. This option is beneficial for students who are certain about their first-choice school, as it may increase their chances of acceptance. However, it may not be suitable for those who want to compare offers of financial aid or who are still considering multiple schools.
