THE POWER OF EARLY DECISION:
Early Decision (ED1) is the easiest round to be admitted to almost any college or university in the country regardless of their level of selectivity (this relies on the accurate publicly reported data from a variety of 4-year accredited colleges and universities whose admit rates have spanned between 5% and 50% over the last 3 years). As one might assume or imagine given the ED1 data, Regular Decision (RD) remains the most difficult round to earn an offer of admission.
Naturally, if someone wants to ensure they give themselves the best possible chance of being admitted to their top choice, it is always recommended to apply Early Decision. Every applicant in the college admissions process only gets to apply to one school that offers ED1. As we know, colleges and universities do have higher admit rates in ED1 compared to every other round that they have to offer. It is also another known fact that there are significantly fewer applicants who apply during the ED1 round compared to the RD round!
CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF ADMISSIONS DATA:
Almost every single college and university that offers ED1 has fallen into the habit of enrolling about half of their incoming first-year class within just this one round alone. NO, typically this 50% number DOES NOT include rounds like Early Decision 2 (ED2) or other early college application admissions processes such as Questbridge and Posse. When you’re inclusive of every round that has a deadline before the standard January RD deadlines, you’ll find that colleges go into the RD reading, committee, and decision processes with 66% to 75% of the incoming class already full!
With admit rates in the single digits in Regular Decision and application numbers at historic all-time highs year after year, you need to ensure you do not only have the best college admissions support possible but that you have someone who will be by your side every step of the way always giving in their all; because when combine mastery with intrinsic endless support you maximize your success alongside your happiness!
