Early Action vs. Early Decision • Early decision plans allow you to apply early (usually in November) and get an admission decision from the college well in advance of the usual notification date. IT IS BINDING!!!! • Early action plans are not binding, meaning you do NOT have to commit to a college to which you've applied for early action. Under these plans, you may apply to other colleges. Usually, you can let the college know of your decision in the late spring or whenever you've decided.

  25. FINAL THOUGHTS • Have a post-high school plan • Encourage independence
