Hello! I was wondering if you could provide me with a list of schools that offer an Early Decision 2 (ED2) option. I'm considering applying to some of these schools and would like to know more about their admission processes. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Hello there! You can find the kind of list you're talking about on CollegeVine's blog, here: https://blog.collegevine.com/early-decision-ii-schools. Note that many prestigious institutions offer ED2, allowing you to demonstrate commitment to your second-choice school and gain the corresponding bump in your admissions odds even if you first-choice ED1 doesn't pan out.
Just to name a few, schools like Vanderbilt University, Emory University, and Pomona College offer this option. However, keep in mind that the list of colleges with ED2 may change slightly from year to year, so it's essential to double-check with each institution's admissions website or contact their admissions office directly for the most up-to-date information. The Common Application website is also a handy resource, as it indicates which application plan(s) are available for each member college.
Best of luck in your admissions journey!
