That is very, very helpful. I didn’t think there was such a thing that, for College X, a document set forth the various methods of application and what the positives and negatives are for each.
For me, “back in the day”, there was simply an ordinary application and then early decision for a few schools. I just haven’t gotten my head around all these new variants like EA and ED2 (and I think there are others to boot).
What you wrote is exactly the kind of guidance I was looking for. I guess will just have to research these one by one.
Thanks!
