no - early action does NOT require you to respond to the offer of admission that early!! it is non-binding – you have until may1 to let them know if you accept the offer of admission.

have you looked here – [Binghamton University - Undergraduate Admissions - Dates and Deadlines](http://www2.binghamton.edu/admissions/apply/dates-and-deadlines.html)

they say early action decisions will be made in january.

in the past they tended to make the decisions on a rolling basis – if you got your stuff in early, you could hear earlier than other EA applicants. but this year they were swamped with applications – that plus the fact that their yield went up last year – the common assumption is that they are taking their time more this year than previously so that they can get a better look at the overall pool.

so assume you’ll hear sometime in january – if you hear earlier – great, but don’t count on it.
