“For the first time, the number of applications submitted for early decision (ED), early action (EA), and regular decision deadlines (around 860,000 applications), exceeded the number traditionally submitted on January 1 (around 720,000)…At many colleges, being in an Early Action pool maximizes important opportunities, such as limited-space majors, merit-based scholarships, and on-campus housing. Without more (high school) counselors who know these details, including how to prepare juniors to fulfill the requirements for applications in the early-fall of senior year, a gap stands to grow.” by Jen Davis of CommonApp
