Enjoy Your Early Action Acceptance

Did you apply for and receive an early action acceptance (not to be confused with the binding early decision acceptance)?

As you’re aware, early action has a lot of benefits, the biggest being that you don’t have to wait nearly as long as fellow classmates to find out if you’ve been accepted to the college of your dreams. While most students have to wait until spring for their acceptance letters, those who decide to submit their application by the early action deadline typically find out by mid December.

If you’re one of those lucky few who took the early action route and have received an acceptance letter, here are several tips:

• ENJOY IT. Take time during your holiday break to relax and enjoy the fact that you’ve already received an acceptance letter. That’s one less stress to worry about during the holiday season! 

• DON’T RUSH IN. Take your time and keep an eye out for acceptance letters from schools you applied to by the regular deadline. Perhaps another school wants to offer you a scholarship, but your early action school does not. This may be an important factor to take into consideration when deciding which school to attend. Once you’ve heard back from all the schools you applied to, fully evaluate your options to make the choice that’s best for you.

With these two tips, you’ll be able to thoroughly enjoy the benefits of your early action application!
