<p>Well to get this straight, I don’t know if you know this or not. But there is a diff bewteen Early Action adn Early Decision</p>
<p>Early Action is non-binding. You apply early to the school, and you find out if you got in earlier than a REA student would, but you still have a choice of where you want to go.</p>
<p>Early Decision is binding. Once you apply and they accept you, you are forced to go to that college.</p>
<p>In my personal opinion apply early action to stanford, since its non-binding and you can always go to another sschool if you decided to change your mind. </p>
<p>Academically, I don’t know whats the better fit for you. But just so you have choices of where you can go, apply early action</p>
