Early Action and Early Decision applications are coming up! With most early application deadlines falling on November 1st of a high school athlete’s senior year, it’s time to start deciding where you want to commit and apply.

For athletes who have narrowed their options down to a few schools, apply Early Action so you can hear back early whether you got accepted, and make your decision based on the school’s answer.

For athletes who know for sure where they want to go, and you’re ready to commit, apply Early Decision. Once you’re accepted, you are bound to attending this school. Sign your NLI this month during the early signing date as well.
