Early Action

 Early Action(EA) is an excellent  appplication option. You apply by  Nov 01  ( Only 28 days left)

 and hear of  your decision by mid december.  EA is non commital,   if accepted   one has until May to decide.  If rejected  you can reapply on the January deadline or  rework your college list accordingly. Not all universities  use EA applications but ther are several excellent options.

 EA is done properly is a win-win for the student. you have secured admission by  mid december and can now focus on just 2 or 3 more application for the Jan 01 deadline.  If rejected  you can re-ealuate your list and redo your essay.

  Three of the best STEM universities  have an EA cycle. If you are interested in studying  engineering or a STEM program please condsider these three options.

• Caltech
• MIT
• Georgia Tech

 Someof the best large public universities also have  EA admissions. 

•  University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
• University of  North Carolina - Chapel  Hill
• University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign
• University of  Georgia - Athens

Almost all students will find one or more relevant programs at one of thes schools and  I strongly recommend applying EA to one or two of these.

 Other   well known universities offering EA applications are

•  Case Western Reserve University
•  Universaity of Chicago
• Clark University
•  Many smaller liberal arts schools also offer EA deadlines

• Agnes Scott College
• College of Wooster
• Goucher College
• Hampshire college
•  Birmingham Southern

Deadlines are usually  Nov 01 but some have Ot 15 or even Dec 01 deadlines.
