[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all schools offer ED and/or EA. If your favorite has ED, yes, apply there but only if you are ok paying what the net price calculator says.

Apply EA wherever you can,. You can do ED and a bunch of EA, [b]with the exception of a small number of "single choice early action" schools.[/b]

My DD did not have a clear favorite so did not do ED. All but one school on her list had EA so she did that and then regular decision for the last one.[/quote]

NP.  What does this even mean?  "with the exception of a small number of "single choice early action" schools."

What is the down side  or advantages of EA rather than doing regular decision?

Advantages of EA is that it signals to the school that you want to attend and are organized and on top of things to apply by early NOv.  Many take 80-90% of their class from ED and EA.  
There are no downsides to EA.

There are a few "single choice EA" schools that have different rules (Georgetown is one, I don't know the others.  For Georgetown EA you are not allowed to apply to a binding ED school, but can apply to as many EA as you want).  [/quote]

Thank you for this.[/quote]
