      ACT is much better and wont let your one weakness steal away your strengths, SAT needs you to be perfect, its super easy to get 32+(for harvard) in ACT but not 1540 in SAT

      The "brutal curve" isn't the College Board's fault. That just means that the questions on this particular test were actually easier, which is why each question you get wrong punishes you harder. The tone of this comment really seems like Yash just wants to let off steam and is looking for excuses on why they didn't do well.

    Just a quick question. So you can't apply Early Action to other schools and ED to one?
    Such a helpful video! Thanks! :)

    • @SupertutorTV
      @SupertutorTV  6 років тому +6

      Well, not any REA or SCEA schools for sure. EA plans that are STATE schools and not private schools are almost always ok, of which there are very few that tell you anything before Jan 1 (notably U Mich but really only if you are way early. They deferred almost all my students who procrastinated on turning in their early apps-- I think bc they were overwhelmed and didn't have time to read all the apps they got. Some of these kids ended up in top 10 /Ivy schools). The other top 30 or so that are permissible I name in the video (Georgia Tech, UVA, UNC). The place you MUST look though is the particular rules for your ED school. THAT is the place to start. Then if they say you CAN apply EA, or do not specify you can't, you could then apply to the non-REA EA schools (I.e. MIT, Cal Tech, etc.-- middle list on that slide in the middle of the video). However, the non REA early schools generally don't confer as much of an advantage to applying early. You can (As of now maybe it will change) apply ED to Penn or ED to Brown,then EA to MIT and EA to UMich, for example but not also REA to Harvard.

  • @paulrispin4989
    @paulrispin4989 5 років тому +12

    Of course most colleges admit a greater percentage of early applicants than they do regular applicants. That's obvious. The pool of students is stronger. It does NOT mean an individual student is more likely to get in if they apply early. Making that assumption is extremely poor interpretation of statistics. The video completely ignores this important point.

    • @ihsaryan
      @ihsaryan 4 роки тому +9

      Your point is correct when it comes to Early Action, but Early Decision has the advantage of showing a school that they are your top choice.

  • @hannahgu9695
    @hannahgu9695 6 років тому +15

    I heard that early admission generally does not help you much because it tends to be a more competitive pool, and ultimately just shows the college that you are more committed early on. Also, I thought the applicant pool was smaller than that of regular decision, which would give you a higher acceptance rate because the number of kids accepted is just out of a smaller whole. Or is it leveled out to be on the same scale as that of the regular decision?

    • @SupertutorTV
      @SupertutorTV  6 років тому +9

      It REALLY depends on the school. At places like Dartmouth and Penn, early is SO important. At places like MIT and maybe even NYU it really doesn't matter.

      @brookifyd 6 років тому +2

      Not at the same school . You will be accepted, rejected or deferred to the regular pool as an early applicant. If rejected, you cannot reapply to the same school that year. You could try to appeal the decision but very few schools accept appeals (most that do are non-EA state schools). For EA, if deferred then you are in the regular decision pool at that point.

      rolling admissions- you will get your admissions decision 2-3 weeks after application
