Early Decision vs. Early Action vs. Regular

I believe Harvard and Princeton are going to be SCEA, not just regular EA.

Also, adding on to 2CHiLLaXiN’s excellent guide, a lot of athletes and legacies apply ED and EA. While it’s generally agreed that ED boosts one’s chances, don’t be fooled by higher admit rates for students applying EA and SCEA–these are often because a lot of recruited athletes will apply early.

Deferring can also happen during ED, not just EA.
