Hi all, I'm starting to work on my college applications and have a question regarding Early Action. If I apply EA to a college but get rejected, can I reapply for that same college through Regular Decision? Thanks for any help!
Hello! It's great that you're getting started on your college applications. As for your question about applying Regular Decision after an Early Action rejection, it generally depends on the specific college and their policies. Some colleges don't allow students to reapply after being rejected through an early application program, while others might be more lenient.
I would suggest researching the particular college's EA and RD policies. You can find this information on their admissions website or by reaching out to the admissions office directly. This way, you can have a solid understanding of how that specific institution handles reapplication scenarios.
It's important to have a well-rounded college list with a mix of reach, match, and safety schools. This way, even if your EA application doesn't result in an acceptance, you'll have other opportunities to secure a spot in a college that suits your needs. Best of luck with your applications!
