Confused about colleges with Early Action

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a list of colleges that offer Early Action. My counselor suggested applying EA but I'm lost. Any guidance or list would be helpful!

Hello there! You're on the right track—applying Early Action (EA) can be hugely beneficial as it often gives you a slightly higher chance of acceptance and allows you to gather those acceptance letters a bit earlier.

While it's difficult to provide a comprehensive list of all colleges that offer EA, I can certainly name a few prominent ones:

1. University of Michigan (UMich): A prestigious public university especially known for its programs in business, engineering, and political science.

2. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC Chapel Hill): One of the oldest public universities in the U.S., with strong programs across the board, including journalism and health science.

3. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): A world-renowned institution, particularly known for its STEM programs.

4. University of Chicago (UChicago): Known for its rigorous academic programs and commitment to free and open intellectual inquiry.

5. Harvard University: Offers a Restrictive Early Action, which doesn't allow applicants to apply early to other private schools.

6. Caltech: Quite acclaimed for majors that are focused on science, technology, engineering, and math.

These are just a few examples! Many other colleges also offer EA, so it might be a good idea to make a list of colleges you're interested in and then check their websites or reach out to their admissions offices for precise information.

Just remember that EA deadlines are typically in early November, so be sure to plan ahead. And keep in mind that while EA can offer a boost, it's still important to make sure you're submitting the best application you can. Don't rush to meet an EA deadline if it means compromising the quality of your application. Wishing you the best of luck in your application journey!
