[nabs-l] early action for colleges

[minh ha]

The only thing about Early Action programs, from what I've been told
when I was applying to colleges a couple years ago is that admission
offices will hold your application up to a higher standard than
normal. Early Action is intended to find students that truly want to
attend a particular college so it's a lot more rigorous than regular
decision. Also, your chances of getting accepted is higher if you
apply regular decision because you are competing with "regular"
students. This is not to say you shouldn't do early action if it's a
school that you really want to attend; after all, it would get the
hassle of waiting for acceptance letters out of the way and you can
focus on applying to scholarships or just enjoy the last semester of
senior year.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
