Early Decision is what you said it is…a pact you make with the college to attend it if youre accepted (you can’t change your mind lol)

Many kids who apply to college also apply to other schools. So even if a school accepts a certain amount of students, they have no way of seeing how many students will actually pick them.

By applying early decision, youre saying that you WILL go to that college if accepted. Depending on the applicant pool, your chances may increase if you apply early decision to a school because it shows you a have a great interest in the school and you have it as your number one choice.

Theres also early action, which is a non binding form of early decision…menaing you can apply early to a college and find out if youre accepted or not early, but you dont HAVE to go if youre accepted.

Many colleges have two deadlines, early decision deadline (usually innovember i believe) and you cna find out if youre accepted by december
their second deadline is the regular decision deadline, usually in january.

hope this helps! I’m sure there’s a thread somewhere on CC with a better and more in depth analysis of ED, EA, and RD , but these all depend on the schools you go apply to
