Hey guys, I'm a junior and I'm trying to figure out where to apply Early Decision. I have a few schools in mind, but I'm not sure which one to choose. How did you decide where to apply ED? Any tips or advice would be super helpful. Thanks!
Hi there! I understand that choosing a college for Early Decision can be quite a challenging task. My child went through the same process not too long ago, so I can definitely relate to your situation. One piece of advice I'd give is to thoroughly research and visit the colleges you're considering if possible. This will help you get a feel for the campus, the academic environment, and the overall atmosphere of the school. It's important that you see yourself thriving and being happy at the school you choose for Early Decision since it's a binding commitment. Additionally, take a close look at the academic programs and extracurricular opportunities each school offers. Make sure your top choice has a strong program in the field you're interested in pursuing, as well as a variety of activities and clubs that align with your passions. Lastly, don't forget to discuss your decision with your family, school counselor, or anyone who can provide valuable insight into your options. They can help you weigh the pros and cons and make an informed decision. Good luck on your college journey, and I hope you find the perfect fit for you!
