Early Decision Deadlines

<p>I know it is October 14, and I should know by now if I am applying early… but I don’t. So, for my high school, they require that I get in transcript request forms and counselor reccomendation forms by the 18th (Wednesday). But, there is a box at the top of that form that says “I have applied for” and then has a box by early decision and regular decision. It also says online that teacher reccomendations have to be attached to the back of the counselor forms, but I don’t have those ready. So is there any way I can delay my decision through this process?</p>
