Early action simply means that the student applies early, usually in November, and hears back from the school early, usually before the holidays. It isn’t binding like early decision, in which you are expected to enroll in the school if they accept you. With early action you can go on to apply to other schools if you want. It’s helpful in that if you are accepted into your top choice with early action, it saves you from having to apply to other schools, which can be a blessing during the crazy senior year.
