[quote=Anonymous]Only serious downside generally is if the student's app will be stronger in January than it is in November, whether through a strong first semester senior year or otherwise. For example, a student who had some rough patches early in HS might have pulled it together during junior year and feel confident that their rigorous senior course load and good grades first semester will make them look stronger than they would with grades through only junior year. Absent that, there typically isn't a reason not to apply EA, and in fact at some schools -- U-MD being the most significant one around here -- your chances of admission if you wait until RD round plummet. For sure some schools are more selective with their EA round or, supposedly like Michigan, just can't possibly get through all the EA apps in time and so postpone many to the RD round. But even for those, there doesn't seem to be a penalty for having applied EA.[/quote]
