What colleges emphasize early action and give noticeable preference to early action applicants?
College Kickstart actually has a decent list on their blog, published in the last week or two, using class of 2023 numbers. Note that at some of schools the difference in acceptance rate from EA to RD is partially explained by a relatively large proportion of recruited/LOI athletes going thru the EA/SCEA rounds (HYP would all be an example)
Purdue for sure. They fill up the majority of their class EA.
some are moving completely away from EA in favor of ED.
EA was not helpful at NEU, BC (last yr before they got rid of it).
College’s are looking for full payers who commit via ED to be frank.
