Why I Applied Early Decision
Where are you applying? What do you want to study? How many applications are you sending out? When are you hearing back?

What You Need to Know about Early Decision 2023
The most common questions about Early Decision (ED) are: What is Early Decision exactly? How does ED differ from Early Action? What does “binding” mean?
Students interested in applying for Early Decision should know they can only apply to one Early Decision institution. If accepted, students are “bound” to attend. Students applying for ED can apply to other schools that have Early Action plans because Early Action schools are typically non-binding. If accepted to a school via ED, students must withdraw their Early Action and Regular Decision applications for other institutions.
