Early Decision Deadline Looming

Early Decision Deadline Looming September 29 Even Mark Twain couldnt argue with the difference between the Early Decision and Early Action admission rates and the Regular Decision admission rates at highly selective colleges. At this time next month, well be right up against the deadline for students to submit their Early Decision and/or Early Action applications. If youre thinking that youre going to wait until the Regular Decision round to apply to colleges, you are making a major mistake. To not use one of the few cards youve got in your back pocket is a mistake that way too many college applicants make. The data does not lie. Look at the admissions statistics in the Early round as compared to the Regular round. Students who apply Early have greatly increased odds of getting into a highly selective college than do students who apply Regular. Mark Twain may have said, Lies, damned lies, and statistics but in this case, Mark Twain would even agree that you should be applying Early to the college of your dreams. And if you dont have a college of your dreams just yet, come up with one fast because youre going to have to choose one college to attend anyway. You might as well choose that dream college now when youve still got a chance to apply Early Decision or Early Action there. Procrastinating is a really, really bad idea. In fact, at Ivy Coach, we refuse to work with students who approach us before the Early deadlines and dont want to apply Early. Because that tells us that they wont take our advice, that they wont do what is necessary to gain admission to their dream school. Thats fine. But theyre not working with us. Our time and resources are finite. We, quite simply, dont have time for that nonsense. And its just thatnonsense.
