Increase in ED/EA Applications from 2019 to 2020

Curious as to why so many deferrals and flat out rejections in this year’s early round?

Everyone thought they had a chance at a top-top school this year (what we’ve been calling a bit of COVID Confidence) but many admission offices are not playing the same game as in past years. Fewer legacy favors, a greater emphasis on applicants from diverse backgrounds, and yes, huge surges in app numbers have made it a tough early round.

Best pieces of general advice?

Play your cards right with a smart ED 2 choice and broaden your list for RD — it does not get easier to get in during later rounds!
Avoid making the same mistakes twice: have someone (like us!) provide a ding report so you can fix application errors, improve essays, and submit better apps in RD/ED2.
Don’t stop after you press submit. More on this in a later post…

Class of 2025 Early Decision and Early Action Notification Dates

By Brittany MaschalNov 30, 2020

Most early admission decisions start to release soon, so it’s about that time of year when College Kickstart starts tracking the latest Class of 2025 early decision and early action notification dates. They post over 100 schools, and update frequently, so you will want to bookmark their page and check back.

They also very nicely include actual notification dates from last year where available. That said, many schools notify applicants in advance of their official dates, so stay tuned to your email.

Thank you College Kickstart!

PS — Class of 2025 is also known as the high school Class of 2021
