That’s EA1. The deadline for non GA Residents (EA2) is Nov 1. It’ll be helpful to list both early deadlines.

Rutgers only has Early Action, not Early Decision, so the latter can be removed.

Stevens also has an Early Action plan with a deadline of Dec 1.

I also see that we have mentioned both ED1 and ED2 deadlines for some schools but not for all (NYU, as an example has ED2 with a deadline of Jan 1).
Hopefully posters can help fill in missing dates for other schools.
