Early Decision, Early Action, Regular Decision, Rolling Admission—what do all of these college application options actually mean? And could the deadline your student chooses affect not only their chances of admission, but also how much scholarship and financial aid money they receive?In this episode of Ol' College Try, Peg Keough sits down with CAP expert Melissa Mieyr to break down the different ways students can apply to college and what families should consider before choosing an application strategy.From the financial risks of binding Early Decision to scholarship priority deadlines that may come before a college's regular application deadline, Peg and Melissa explain why families need to look beyond simply getting the application submitted on time.Tell us more about you! Fill out this survey: ⁠Ol' College Try SurveyIn this episode, we cover:🎓 The differences between Early Decision, Early Action, Regular Decision, and Rolling Admission🔒 Why Early Decision is binding—and what students and parents are agreeing to when they apply ED📅 The difference between ED1 and ED2 and how the timing can affect your application strategy💰 Why families need to understand whether an Early Decision school is affordable before submitting the application⚠️ Why applying ED without understanding the potential financial aid package can put families in a difficult position💵 How Early Action and priority scholarship deadlines can be tied to merit scholarship opportunities🚫 What Restricted Early Action and Single-Choice Early Action mean—and why families need to carefully read each college's rules🏆 How waiting until Regular Decision could potentially mean missing out on scholarship opportunities🔄 The difference between Rolling Admission and Rolling Decisions🪑 Why waiting too long at a rolling admission school could mean fewer available spots—or less scholarship money📬 Why students shouldn't wait until 11:59 PM on deadline day to submit their applications🖥️ Why checking each college's student portal is critical for making sure transcripts, recommendations, test scores, and other materials have actually been received📝 Why application materials don't always arrive at the college as one complete package🗓️ Why families should start researching deadlines after junior year and work backward to build an application plan😌 How getting applications done earlier can reduce stress and let students actually enjoy their senior-year holiday seasonKey Takeaway: Your student's college application deadline isn't just about admissions. The way—and timing—in which they apply can also affect scholarship opportunities, financial aid, and your family's ability to compare college costs.Before choosing Early Decision, make sure the college works academically, personally, and financially. For other schools, don't assume the published Regular Decision deadline is the only date that matters. Research Early Action and priority scholarship deadlines, understand every school's individual requirements, and aim to submit early enough to leave time to catch and correct any problems.The earlier families understand these deadlines, the easier it becomes to break the application process into manageable pieces instead of scrambling at the last minute.🎵 Song of the Week: Aid Maze by Joe Smith🎧 Listen to our full podcast playlist here:https://hubs.li/Q03kvxZn0📚 Resources & Links🔢 Understand your college costs for FREE→ Create your MyCAP Account: https://hubs.li/Q03PTJ_x0📄 Download the Student Loan Fact Sheet→ https://hubs.li/Q04cmnWD0💰 Get 15% OFF sitewide with code COLLEGETRY15→ https://shop.collegeaidpro.com/📱 Follow College Aid Pro:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CollegeAidProInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/collegeaidproTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@collegeaidproLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/college-aid-pro🌐 Learn more about College Aid Pro:https://collegeaidpro.com
