    Many students have already chosen whether or not to apply for Early Decision （ED）． The official deadline for most colleges and universities with an ED application is Nov 1st at 11：59 p．m．

Early Decision has risks． 1.However， ED comes with some nice perks （好处）．The two biggest advantages are：

1．Early notification （通知）． Students apply early and are notified early - usually by December 15．

2．A boost （提高）in acceptance． With just a little bit of research， you can find out the acceptance rate for students who apply normally and those who apply through ED． You might be surprised．2.

What questions do you need to ask before you make the ED choice？

First， consider academic fit． Are you satisfied with the amount of research you've done to make a four-year commitment （承诺）to this school？ Have you spent enough time on die college's website to understand the academic offerings？3.Do you think you'd struggle to keep up with the other students in class？

4.Are you sure you'll like the climate？ Is it the right size （not too big， not too small）？ Is the emphasis on sports， arts， culture， etc． right for you？ Do you like the surrounding area？ Is it enough to keep you entertained， or is it too overwhelming （难应付的）？

5.If you apply for Early Decision and are accepted， will you be able to attend if you are not offered any financial aid？ If the answer is "no" then you probably should reconsider applying through ED， because you will need to withdraw （撤回）your other applications if you are accepted．

 

A．Look at the social fit， too．

B．Also look at your finances．

C．Turn to your teachers for advice， too．

D．Do you think you're competitive academically？

E．Are you sure you can adapt to the new surroundings？

F．ED acceptance rates at some schools can be twice as high as the regular acceptance rates．

G．It means the student has agreed that if he or she is accepted to a school， he or she must attend it．
