<p>The post is somewhat misleading. The suggestion of applying early having better impact on a decision is typically considered with Early Decision policies. Early Action policies don’t really offer an advantage or disadvantage in admissions decisions because there is nothing that is binding. </p>
<p>So a 40% gap as its being described isn’t really a cause for any concern. Just as GPBurdell32 says, those who aren’t clear cut admits would just get deferred and placed into the regular decision pool.</p>
<p>*MichiganGeorgia…that logic only works with ED decisions, because they are binding. Applying EA doesn’t really show that a person is more likely to enroll moreso than they want to be considered for the bigger scholarships.</p>
