How College Admissions Works - Early Action, Early Decision, Regular Admissions & all the rest

[@niam3630]

Thank you so much for explaining this!! I’m a parent to a soon to be college student and wasn’t sure what it meant by early action vs rolling admissions, so I stopped the application process just to figure out how to respond. Your video gave me full understanding that early action(which I was shying away from) is totally different from early decision TyTyYy🫶🏽❤️now back to the applications!!!😂

Hey, I am a senior in high school, and I'm not sure when the early decision starts. Did it already start in November last year when I was in 11th, or will it start in November this year?

what happens if you dont want to go to the uni in ed as an international student? do u get red flagged in some way?

Hi there Ed ! Question… So, my son has been accepted to several universities, among them his 2nd choice, however, he is waiting on his 1st choice but they won’t make ANY decisions until late February. I’m thinking that we should commit to his 2nd choice already, pay enrollment and lodging deposits, just to secure on campus lodging as lodging is scarce, especially the longer you wait. I told my son that should his first choice come back affirmatively, that we can simply withdraw, should he wish, lose the deposits, and then reassign the FASFA to his 1st choice school. Am I correct in following this strategy ?

Thank you for this video. My question is, If I apply for early action 2 to a specific country say, US, am I eligible to apply for the same early action 2 in another country?

[@mathewthomas4655]

very informative and very well presented. If you do apply for early decision and is accepted, will the college provide you financial aid/college aid based upon their net price calculator.

[@ranjanyadav4303]

Hello sir, can i get the list of early action and early decision colleges ?

[@zainomx]

I have been getting emails from many colleges asking me to apply with their "Special application" they name it different things and make you apply through their website or CommonApp and then give you a decision in a short time. I applied to Wingate University that way and then got accepted and they told me I need to pay 300$ to claim my seat. What type of application would that be?

[@Jaf-ss1el]

Hi! could you pls let me know, if IB predicted scores are low like 33, what could be the best strategy to get into a good school?

[@abrahamlin1841]

Can international students do early decision or early action?

[@Maddbrd]

Why not? every student have the right to apply under any application mode of their choice. The important thing, is to understand and know which is the best for you. I'm Maddison. Dartmouth college
