College Admissions: EA vs ED vs EDII?

By |2023-11-06T01:22:06-05:00November 6th, 2023|College Admissions, Early Action, Early Decision, Harvard, Ivy Leage Admissions|0 Comments

College Admissions: What is the Difference Between EA vs. ED vs. EDII?

The college admissions process can be an overwhelming and confusing experience for both students and their families. Among the many decisions to make is whether to apply under Early Action (EA), Early Decision (ED), or Early Decision II (EDII). Each of these options comes with its own set of rules and benefits, and understanding the differences between them can help you make the best choice for your college application strategy.

Early Action (EA)

Early Action is a non-binding admissions option offered by many colleges and universities. Under this plan, students submit their application ahead of the regular application deadline, typically in November, and receive an admission decision in December. Early Action allows students to apply to multiple colleges without having to commit to attending if they are accepted. This flexibility makes it a popular choice for students who want to keep their options open while potentially receiving an early acceptance.

One of the primary advantages of Early Action is that it allows students to relieve some of the stress associated with the college admissions process. Knowing that you have at least one acceptance in hand early on can be a significant relief. It also gives you more time to compare different schools and financial aid packages before making a final decision.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that not all schools offer Early Action, and the application deadlines and notification dates can vary significantly. Some schools have a single Early Action deadline, while others may offer multiple rounds of Early Action, each with different deadlines.

Early Decision (ED)

Early Decision is another early application option, but it comes with a significant commitment. When you apply under Early Decision, you are committing to attending that particular college if you are accepted. This means that you can only apply to one college under an Early Decision plan. If you are accepted, you are bound to enroll, provided the financial aid package is acceptable. It is essential to understand this commitment fully before applying Early Decision, as breaking this commitment can have serious consequences.

The major advantage of Early Decision is that it can significantly boost your chances of being admitted to your top-choice school. Colleges like to see that you are committed to attending their institution, and they often admit a higher percentage of students through the Early Decision pool. Additionally, if you have a clear first-choice school and are certain about your decision, Early Decision can be a strategic move.

One important consideration for Early Decision is the financial aspect. Be sure to research the school’s financial aid policies and only apply Early Decision if you are confident that you will receive a feasible financial aid package. If you are accepted but unable to afford the cost of attendance, you may be released from the Early Decision agreement, but this can be a complicated and emotional process.

Early Decision II (EDII)

Early Decision II is a variation of the Early Decision option. Like Early Decision, it requires a binding commitment to attend the college if accepted. However, it has a later application deadline, typically around January 1, which can be beneficial for students who missed the Early Decision deadline or who want to apply to more schools after considering their options.

The primary advantage of Early Decision II is that it provides a second chance at binding early admission. If you apply Early Decision and are not admitted to your first-choice school, you can consider applying Early Decision II to another school without the need to commit to the first school you applied to. This can be particularly useful if your top-choice school’s Early Decision pool is highly competitive.

Comparing EA, ED, and EDII

To summarize the key differences between Early Action (EA), Early Decision (ED), and Early Decision II (EDII):

  1. Binding Commitment:
    • EA: Non-binding, no commitment to attend if accepted.
    • ED: Binding commitment to attend if accepted.
    • EDII: Binding commitment to attend if accepted, with a later application deadline.
  2. Application Deadlines:
    • EA: Earlier than the regular application deadline, typically in November.
    • ED: Earlier than the regular application deadline, usually in November.
    • EDII: Later than the regular application deadline, typically around January 1.
  3. Multiple Applications:
    • EA: Allows you to apply to multiple colleges.
    • ED: You can only apply to one college under Early Decision.
    • EDII: Like ED, you can apply to only one college.
  4. Acceptance Rates:
    • EA: Varies by school but generally less advantageous than ED.
    • ED: Often offers a significant boost in acceptance rates.
    • EDII: Provides a second chance for binding early admission.

Ultimately, the choice between Early Action, Early Decision, and Early Decision II depends on your personal circumstances, preferences, and the specific colleges you are interested in. It’s crucial to research the policies and deadlines of the colleges you are considering and to carefully evaluate your own academic and financial situation before making a decision.

No matter which option you choose, it’s essential to put your best foot forward in your application to increase your chances of admission to your dream school.

How to Get Into Princeton

By |2023-05-10T11:45:15-04:00May 10th, 2023|Ivy League, Ivy League Advice, Ivy League College, Princeton|0 Comments

How to Get Into Princeton

Princeton University is one of the most competitive colleges in the world, and getting accepted into this Ivy League college requires dedication, hard work, and strategy…as well as some insider admissions tips!

In this article, we will discuss some insider advice for students who are applying to Princeton University this year.  Following this advice can only increase your chances of admission!

  1. Start Early

Getting into Princeton starts long before you actually apply. It is important to start planning and preparing for college, and especially a competitive Ivy League college, as early as possible. This means taking challenging classes, maintaining a high GPA, and getting involved in extracurricular activities that demonstrate your leadership, initiative, uniqueness and creativity.

  1. Research the Admissions Process

Princeton has a highly selective admissions process, and it is important to understand the requirements and expectations for your specific intended concentration BEFORE you apply. This includes reviewing the application deadlines, required materials, AP courses in high school and additional admissions criteria.

  1. Demonstrate Academic Excellence

Princeton is known for its rigorous academic program, and the college admissions committee is looking for students who have excelled academically. This means taking challenging classes, maintaining a high GPA, and performing well on standardized tests like the SAT or ACT.  As a high school student you want to take as many AP classes as possible, and if you’re in an IB program that too also always gives an extra boost.

  1. Stand Out with Extracurricular Activities

Princeton is not just looking for students who have strong academics. They also want students who have a range of interests and talents. This means getting involved in extracurricular activities like sports, music, art, community service, and leadership positions, though it is equally okay to be exceptionally talented in just ONE area — like if you’re a classical pianist, or nationally ranked perhaps in tennis or fencing. Don’t think you have to have 10 different activities.  Showing exceptional strength in one area can also make for a very competitive application.

  1. Write a Strong Essay

The essay is an important part of the Princeton application process, and it is your opportunity to showcase your personality, interests, and writing skills. Make sure to choose a topic that is meaningful to you, and be sure to spend time editing and revising your essay to make sure it is polished and error-free.

  1. Get Great Recommendations

Princeton requires recommendations from your teachers and guidance counselor, so it is important to build strong relationships with these individuals throughout high school. Make sure to choose recommenders who know you well and can speak to your strengths and achievements.

  1. Consider Early Action or Early Decision

Princeton offers both Early Action and Early Decision options for applicants. Early Action is non-binding, which means you can apply to other schools and make your final decision later. Early Decision is binding, which means you are committing to attend Princeton if you are accepted. Keep in mind that the acceptance rates for Early Decision tend to be higher than for Regular Decision, but this is not always the case.

  1. Showcase Your Diversity

Princeton values diversity and is looking for students who can bring unique perspectives and experiences to the campus community. This means highlighting any cultural or ethnic background, language skills, or experiences that set you apart from other applicants.

  1. Be Genuine

Finally, it is important to be yourself throughout the application process. Princeton is looking for students who are genuine, authentic, and passionate about their interests and goals. Don’t try to be someone you’re not or write an essay that doesn’t reflect your true personality and voice.

In summary, getting into Princeton requires a combination of academic excellence, extracurricular involvement, strong recommendations, and a well-crafted application. By starting early, researching the admissions process, and showcasing your unique strengths and experiences, you can increase your chances of getting accepted into one of the most prestigious colleges in the world.

Your Ivy League College Admissions Interview: How to Prepare & What to Expect

By |2022-10-04T08:09:36-04:00November 10th, 2015|The Harvard Admissions Interview|0 Comments

Harvard Library

It’s incredibly nerve-wracking to have to go into a room and have a stranger decide your future.  If you’re also a top student (like I was), it’s even more nerve-wracking to not know if you’re really going to get to go to a top-tier, super-elite school like Harvard, Princeton, MIT, or Yale and have your future and career almost completely laid out for you, or if you really even have the slightest chance of getting in at all. How To Prepare for Ivy League College Admissions Interview?

That’s why I’ve laid out the top questions students often hear during their Ivy League college interviews. Even if you’re not applying to the Ivy League, this will work for any other competitive top to mid-tier college, too.

So, whether you’re applying to Harvard and Princeton, or Boston University and NYU, studying these questions will help you be more prepared in terms of what to expect from your college interview, and how to be more confident during the interview itself, because nothing will take you by surprise.

As an overview though, college admissions officers want to know that you have the maturity to speak clearly, that you can be comfortable even in a nerve-wracking situation, that you can look them in the eye, smile, chat, have a solid “adult” conversation on an adult level, and are clear in terms of who you are at this point in your life and where you want to go.  These questions will help you get there:

1. “So, what are you interested in studying in college?”

What college interviewers are looking for here, is an answer that reveals your academic and possible future professional plans and interests, but also shows uniqueness and a background (however slight it may be) related to your answer.

In other words, just saying you’re interested in pre-med is fine, but saying you’re interested in pre-med because you spent time interning over the summer at a make-shift hospital in India, or at an inner city hospital in Chicago, is better because it shows you have actual experience to back up your goals. .

The main thing that will get you bad marks here on this question?  Being too vague – that’s what this question is trying to screen for.  Your college interviewer wants to make sure that you have the focus and ambition needed to truly succeed in a top Ivy League college (and in life).  They want to make sure you’re someone who has a plan and has a direction…even if that direction later changes course.  Just show them that you have an initial thought-out plan.

 So, if they ask you this question, pick an academic subject and back it up, even if you end up changing your major 4 times once you’re in.  First, get in!

2. “What high school accomplishment are you most proud of?”

Here, your college admissions interviewer is trying to get a sense of what you value, as the accomplishment you are most proud of will not only show off your best strengths academically (or extracurricularly, as could be the case). But will show him/her what things and pursuits you actually  identify with, in your own life – and that gives them great information about YOU.

The main thing that will get you bad marks on your college interviewer’s report with this question? Not showing a real passion or energy behind your answer.  You can’t expect someone to be excited about what you’ve done in life, if you yourself aren’t that interested.

3. “Tell me about your family background? Where did you grow up?”

What the admission officer is looking for here, is a sense of trying to place you. What I call, trying to paint a picture of your home life in their mind.  Did you grow up in a big city, a suburb, a rural farm?  Were you home-schooled, or did you attend a highly competitive science magnet in your area?

They are trying to place you, but they are also trying to discern how you yourself feel about your background.  There’s no wrong answer here, except a one-word answer.  That will get you a bad mark on the interviewer’s report, and you don’t want that.  If someone asks you a question, expand and expound!

4. “What is an example of something difficult you’ve had to go through, or an important event perhaps that took place in your life in the last few years?”

Here, as with the question above, the admissions committee (through the college interviewer’s report that they will write about you)  is simply trying to get a sense of who you are, what you value, and what stands out in your mind.  They are simply trying to understand who you are as a person. And how you see yourself in relation to others.

The one thing that will get you bad marks on this question?  Not having a strong and solid answer.  It’s really not so much what you say with any of this, but how you say it.  Always speak with confidence and self-reflection = that’s what they really like.  Don’t be afraid to show them who you are as a thinker and a person.  The fastest thing to get you dinged on all of your questions is, again, a weak, one-word response!

5. “Why Harvard” or “Why Princeton?” or “Why Columbia?” or “Why Berkeley?”…

Most likely, you already wrote an admissions essay covering this question, so I strongly suggest you review all of your essays before going into your college interview.  Your answer “Why Harvard, or University of Pennsylvania, or Columbia, Brown, Duke, UCLA, MIT, or NYU?” (just to name a few). You should focus on that particular school’s program, core curriculum, professors, classes and extracurriculars that are specific to your interests.

The focus should be academic at the core. But don’t be afraid to let your personality and true interest in a school’s outside extracurricular activities also shine through.  Do your homework and understand the differences between different programs and how they’re set up with their own unique flavor. Especially when we’re talking about the Ivy League colleges and universities.

In the end, your college admissions interview should be conversational, interesting, educational and engaging!  In other words, just try to have a very real and connected conversation. Most interviews last 20-40 minutes! And if you’ve gotten this far, it’s a very good sign that you are already on your way!

Common App College Essay Prompts and How to Master Them for Your Ivy League Application!

By |2022-10-04T09:29:09-04:00October 2nd, 2014|Brown, College Admissions, Columbia, Common App, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, Ivy League|1 Comment

So, it’s official.  You’ve decided it’s time to start working on your Common App. Good for you!  Great even.  You’re not procrastinating!  That is, until you looked at the prompts and thought, “I have absolutely NO IDEA what to say, let alone guess what the colleges are even looking for.”  This thought perhaps made you panicked, sick, ill, malaised (i.e. good SAT word, write it down), and forced you to have visions of working at a donut shop for the rest of your life, (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Get more information on How to Master the Common App Essay!

Perhaps you had plans though of potentially setting off for Harvard, Princeton, Yale, or some other picturesque U.S. school to watch football games, meet great life-long friends, STUDY and get an excellent education, and just do something incredibly solid and interesting with your life…but then messed it all up with the Common App and destroyed the dream.  Done.  OVER.  Donut?

Well, stop worrying.  We’re going to go through the prompts one by one, and if you take away my key points from each of the questions, you’re going to do more than fine.

Prompt #1: Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

This essay is a great chance to show your uniqueness, your individuality, what makes you different, and college admissions officers LOVE different.  Did you hear that? They read so many applications, that they truly gravitate towards those students who are unique and stand out.  So, do you have something unique in your background?  Have you done something unusual?  Is there something different about your family that makes you interesting?  Here is where you write about what makes you different from others in your school. What does make you different from your friends.   Remember, different = interesting.

PROMPT #2: Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did you learn?

Make sure you answer each of the questions stated in this prompt and you’ll do fine.  Mostly though, you want to pick a negative experience (a “failure”) that then has a positive spin — that shows your self-reflection and ability to pick yourself up and move forward stronger than before!  This essay is a good choice if STRENGTH and FORTITUDE are two of your major traits.

PROMPT #3: Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?

This essay is here to show your character.  What are you passionate about?  What are you willing to stand up for, even in the face of adversity? As with prompt #2, make sure you address all of the questions within the question – that is part of what you are being tested on.  This essay is a good choice if you have very strong morals and values and are willing to make a public stand.  Always be aware of your audience though, and take into consideration how things will be perceived by the admissions committee.  In other words, choose your battles wisely.

PROMPT #4: Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?

I like this essay, as it is the most creative.  Again, make sure you address all three points, and focus equally on description as well as self-reflection: why this is meaningful to YOU.  I’ve read very lyrical essays that describe a place, only to not understand its significance for the student.  Similarly, I’ve read very factual essays for this prompt that have no description or emotional feeling or language. Balance both, and do it in a creative way, and you’ll win by giving your reader insight into your world.

PROMPT #5: Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.

What the admissions committee is looking for here, is growth. Your growth.  That moment when your world changed.  Pick an event that clearly shows how you were before, and then how you were different after.  Again, as with the other essays, they are looking for self-reflection.  This essay also allows for a lot of creativity and I have found sometimes the smaller, less formal and more personal events or moments in life make for the best, most moving essays – and that advice goes for all of the prompts, above. I hope, these amazing tips on How to Master the Common App Essay will help you the most.

The Common App: How to Write a Great College Application

By |2022-10-04T09:35:21-04:00September 21st, 2014|Berekeley, Brown, college, College Admissions, Columbia, Common App, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, Ivy League, Ivy League Advice, Ivy League College, MIT, NYU, Princeton, Standford, Stanford, UCLA, UPenn, Yale|3 Comments

The Common App Essay

How to Write a Great College Application!

The season is upon us: college applications, and right now is a good time to start working on your Common App.  You’re a month into the new school year, you’ve settled in, and now the Common App essay is staring you in the face. Here is what should you know about How to Write an Ivy League College Application Essays:

Where do you begin?  You know you have to start writing it…but HOW?

You try to forget about it, but you can’t.  How can you write the absolutely best college admission essays possible when you have no idea what to write about or where to begin??

Similarly, neither do you know what the college admission committee is even looking for, nor what will make a really strong college essay and application.  This holds true for all colleges and universities, but ESPECIALLY if you’re applying to the Ivy League.

Oh yeah, and did I mention your entire future appears to depend on this?

Don’t worry though, because I am going to walk you through the process.

I’m a former Harvard admissions interviewer + Harvard grad, and I know how to do this well.  I’m going to tell you how you can master the Common App essay and application and make the most of your college applications.

To be more to the point, I’m going to help you get into the best schools possible.

This includes the Ivy League: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, UPenn, and Cornell. The top. I mean, what if you want to go there?  How can you tackle the Common App and catapult your way to the apex of education?

Let’s start with the questions.  These are the choices for your Common App Essay:

  • Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
  • Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did you learn?
  • Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?
  • Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?
  • Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.

Which one to choose, you say? Which one will be the best one to write about?  Here’s what I say:  go with the one that is going to contain the most EMOTION.  Emotion is powerful, good or bad, and the examples you choose, if they have a certain emotional weight to them when you think about it, that will add weight (and admissions committee engagement) to your essay.  In other words, emotion or powerful experiences (which is really what I mean) serves to ENGAGE your reader, and an engaged reader is going to not only remember your essay, but feel that you truly conveyed a mood, and environment, and an experience.

In other words, they will feel they got to know YOU just a little bit more than if you had written about something “less powerful” that didn’t engage. This is all you should know about How to Write an Ivy League College Application Essays.

Go with the powerful emotions.  The experiences and examples for any of the above, that convey some kind of emotion, and make you feel. Because that is going to translate to your essay.

More tips and advice to come…

3 Expert Tips to Get Into an Ivy League College!

By |2023-06-11T07:50:10-04:00June 10th, 2013|College Admissions|1 Comment

It’s that time of year again, when high school seniors hoping to get into an Ivy League college stare desperately at the Common App and supplemental college admission essay questions and ask themselves:

1. What are the Ivy League colleges really looking for?

2. How can I make my Ivy League application stand out?

3. Do I even have a chance of getting in to the Ivy League?

Let’s address these questions one-by-one, but first of all, for those of you who don’t know (or maybe aren’t sure) the Ivy League is made up of 8 colleges and universities including Harvard, Yale and Princeton (which are considered the “Top 3”) and then Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, and the University of Pennsylvania.

One shouldn’t forget though, that there are also a handful of other extremely competitive schools that are considered to be on par with the Ivy League, such as Stanford, MIT and Duke University, just to name a few.  So…

  1. What is it that the schools are really looking for (especially when talking about Ivy League colleges)?

I believe that the answer can be found in two words: confidence and individuality.

In other words, yes, your grades are important, yes, your test scores need to be as high as possible, yes, you need to have a strong assortment of as many AP courses as you can fit in your arsenal,  but once you have all of that (because why would you be applying to an Ivy League college if you didn’t think you could compete at that academic level with your peers) the next important thing is: YOUR UNIQUE EXPERIENCE.

By this I mean things in your background that make you different, that are going to make you stand out to an Ivy League college admissions committee. Things that are going to make you different than simply being “another suburban high school student from New Jersey,” or “just” another kid from a private school in Massachusetts or New York.

Not to say that the top schools don’t accept A LOT of students who fall into these two categories (believe me, they do)… but your competition if you’re coming from these categories is going to be stronger because of that highly competitive applicant pool and because college admissions officers like to diversify.

  • The answer to question #2 then is that, no matter what your background, you should always, always, always ask yourself, HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT and then try to highlight that! 

In other words, what is it in your background that makes you unique? That’s what Ivy League college admissions officers want to see as they paint a picture of you in their mind. You will increase your chances astronomically, if you give them something to paint with.

So, were you raised in a poor village in India before immigrating to the U.S.? Did your family move here from Russia? Is your family in politics?  Are you training for the Olympics in ice skating, or skiing? Or do you compete at a very high level in equestrian sports? Have you built your own guitar?  Have you studied ballet in NYC since the age of 8? Did you grow up in a fishing community in Alaska? Or was yours the only Jewish family in a Southern Baptist community in the deep South? Have you served in the U.S. Army?

Is anyone in your family famous, or extremely well-known in their field?  Is anyone a legacy at the Ivy League college you’re applying to? Do you own any patents? Or, are you a budding biotech or real estate entrepreneur even though you’re still in high school who started their own company from the ground up (regardless if it failed).

All the above are true stories from admission essays in the past. All are very interesting and obviously make the student STAND OUT.

And, that is what an Ivy League college admissions committee is looking for. And this is the big secret that will give you an edge:  tell them something interesting. Everyone in my opinion, has done something of interest in their life, even if they are too close to it perhaps to really see it for themselves.  Think about what makes you different from your peers.

So, should you even apply to an Ivy League college if you don’t have these things, or is it just a waste of time? Will you even have a chance? Yes, you have a chance, a good chance — if you have the grades, and the test scores. And the academic background and some interesting academic or life experience. You are then, as they put it, a “contender.”

  • So now question #3, –  will you get in? That’s the wrong question. Change the question instead to, “can I paint an interesting picture of who I am and where I want to go in life?”

Then craft that into a properly formed college admissions essay. And make sure you speak with clarity, insight into your own experience, truth, emotion, and confidence.

All these together become the first step to getting you into the Ivy League college of your dreams!
