Your Morning Boost: A School Leadership Podcast

Decoding Admissions Deadlines: ED, EA, RD, and Rolling. What's the Difference? In this episode, we break down the alphabet soup of college admissions deadlines and help you understand what each one means for your student. We explain the differences between Early Decision, Early Action, Regular Decision, and Rolling Admissions, including the pros and cons of each option. Learn about binding vs. non-binding applications, how early deadlines can impact financial aid, and strategic considerations for when to apply where. We'll help you understand restrictive Early Action policies, whether applying early actually improves admissions chances, and how to create a timeline that reduces stress while maximizing opportunities. By the end of this episode, you'll be able to guide your student in choosing the right application strategy for their college list. S1, E10
