Most colleges and soon all common app colleges use a software system called “AY”… which stands for “ApplyYourself”. This assists in automating the process and allows colleges to share information … AND discover who the EA and ED students are for each college. When a name is entered into the system, if the student accepted EA or applied ED it will flag the student in their system. It does not affect the college in which they accepted for either EA or ED.

Wise up students, it’s the information age. Many colleges also use an automated system for scoring and awarding “points” to applicants, the system then divides the applicants into yes consider and no sections, based on specific criteria that each college sets up. Although AY is a software program, like peoplesoft, it can be customized for each customers (colleges) specific needs.
