    Do you think I will be at a significant disadvantage if I applied regular decision? I’m striving for straight As 1st semester to boost my gpa to a 3.9-4.0 from a 3.8 (Weighted). Due to Covid, I’m taking my first SAT next month. However, I’m taking 2 more (early October and December).

      Apply EA and if you are on the edge, you will get deferred to regular. If you have no chance of getting in, at least you will know sooner.

    guys, I will apply for us universities this year, I have adhd, I struggled a lot in high school and now 2 years is gone since I finished and I decided to apply for university. I am currently in a 3 years college and my gpa is something like 3.7 but in my high school it was 3.
