[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am trying to figure out the downside of applying Early Action here? Particularly since it is now a pretty easy application? Get it done and get your response early. Probably not early enough to save you from doing other apps but early enough to know you are in somewhere if you get in.[/quote]

If it’s being done to game rankings…they add EA to get more applicants. Then at some point EA applicants will be asked to switch to ED with the implication being you’re rejected if you don’t.

As an aside, my son applied to two EA schools. Both invited him to switch to ED. He didn’t. Accepted to both with giant merit scholarships (both schools don’t give merit to ED candidates). [/quote]
It’s not just the conversions to ED2. It’s also that students who would apply ED2 or RD if they don’t get into their ED1 will now apply in time for the EA deadline. Thus they’ll register as completed applications even if they get into their ED1 school and withdraw. [/quote]
