These private universities offer EA and are ranked in the top 100. I consider the top 100 “highly rated,” but everyone has differing opinions.

Also, click the toggle on the right to All Colleges. Then at the bottom of the page, change Items Per Page to the largest option. Then sort by EA column. I think you need to do this for each page (like 5 pages). Obviously the EA deadline dates are not yet updated to this fall. That happens on August 1. |
Richmond, Macalester, Bard, Wake Forest if first gen, etc. |
I don’t think much is given up by not applying this list of schools EA, especially by kids who truly have Ivy caliber stats. UChicago offers ED2 and as has already been pointed out, USC has a lower acceptance rate for EA than RD. |
Wake Forest first gen EA deadline is not until January 15 so kids will already have heads back from REA and SCEA schools the prior month. |
Wake has a special deadline for first gen? That is absolutely ridiculous. |
DP. To clarify, it is perfectly acceptable to apply REA to ND and Georgetown as well as any of the above EA options at the same time. OP's kid is looking for such options. No one is giving anything up. |
If a kid has stats to apply ND REA, this is a great list of backups and safeties |
