Hi there! I'm trying to navigate the college application process and was curious about the rules for Early Decision applications. How many ED schools am I allowed to apply to, or is it just one at a time? I have a couple of top choice schools and I'm struggling to choose one over the other for ED. Thanks for your help!
Hi! I understand that the college application process can be quite confusing, but I'm here to help. Early Decision (ED) is a binding agreement, meaning that if you're admitted, you're committed to attending that school and must withdraw your applications from other colleges. Therefore, you're allowed to apply to only one ED school at a time.
Given that ED is binding, I would recommend carefully considering which of your top choice schools you feel is the best fit for you. Weigh the pros and cons of each school, and make an informed decision about which to apply for under the ED plan. Best of luck!
