What are some schools with Early Action?

Hey everyone! As I start my college search process, I'd like to know which schools offer Early Action. I feel like applying EA might give me a better chance of getting into my dream schools. Can anyone provide me with a list of some schools that offer early action? Thanks so much!

Hello! There are many schools that offer Early Action (EA) as an option for applicants. Applying EA can be a great choice if you want to maximize your chances of admission without committing to a school like you would with Early Decision. Here are some well-known schools with EA programs:

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

2. California Institute of Technology (Caltech)

3. University of Chicago (UChicago)

4. Georgetown University

5. University of Notre Dame

6. University of Michigan (UMich)

7. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC Chapel Hill)

8. Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech)

9. Villanova University

10. University of Southern California (USC)

11. Yale University

12. Harvard University

Keep in mind that there are different types of Early Action programs, including Single-Choice Early Action (SCEA) and Restrictive Early Action (REA), which limit you from applying early to other schools under some circumstances. Make sure to carefully review the rules and requirements for each school's Early Action program before applying early.

Remember that applying EA is generally non-binding, so you can still apply to other schools during the regular decision round and make your final college choice later. However, applying early typically gives you a better chance to be admitted, so it's worth considering if there's a school you're particularly interested in attending.

Good luck with your college search and application process!
