How much does applying Early Action help?

<p>

</p>

<p>It is not possible. That’s why NONE of the ~18,000 cases are judged by “a human being.” Applications are judged by a COMMITTEE in MULTIPLE rounds to ensure fairness. </p>

<p>From Admissions website: "These [application] summaries, along with your application, will then go to the selection committee, where multiple groups of different admissions staff and faculty members will weigh in. At least a dozen people will significantly discuss and debate an application before it is placed in the admit pile.</p>

<p>This is all very intentional; committee decisions ensure that every decision is correct in the context of the overall applicant pool, and that no one individual’s bias or preferences or familiarity with a given case has any chance of swaying a decision unfairly."</p>

<p>You can bring your wonderful book recommendation to the Ivy forums, where people will love it. A number of those schools fill HALF of the class with Early acceptances although their Regular pool is at least 3-5 times larger.</p>
