The early application rounds offer clear advantages for students who are well-prepared and have a preference for specific colleges or universities.
At Top Tier Admissions, we ensure our seniors have a solid early strategy in place (for example, an Early Decision I and Early Decision II school, backed up with multiple Early Action schools). With more than half of the seats in the incoming class taken by Early Decision students (or hooked students) at many colleges, it’s a critical opportunity to boost your odds of acceptance. There’s also a decreased application volume (compared to the regular round) meaning more time spent on your carefully crafted essays.

When the November 1 deadline passed, you could hear a collective sigh of relief from high school seniors across the globe. Remember that while admissions decisions are ultimately out of your control, you can control how you respond to them and ensure you’re prepared to take action, regardless of the early round outcomes.
Don’t forget to monitor your application portal, keep up your grades, and continue to show demonstrated interest! For more tips, check out our “Top 10 Things to Do After Submitting Your College Application.”
