No…you will provide FA info BEFORE that. You will submit FA forms by the ED deadline, which could be in early November…You’ll need to check dates.

You will not really be “taking advantage” of increased acceptance rates. That’s not what is going on. Your chances of acceptances aren’t increased by applying ED. It’s not like 3 students with inadequate stats have a higher chance of being accepted.

Anyway, be sure to apply to your financial safeties in early fall as well. don’t wait til your ED results come in…because that can be too late for the safeties’ merit awards.

Do your parents own a business? Are your parents together?
