ED vs EA: Which Should I Choose for My Reach School?

Admissionsearly decisionearly actioncollege applicationsstrategy

Anyone else torn between early decision and early action? I'm in a bit of a pickle here—my dream school is a reach and, honestly, I’m super anxious about how it all plays out. Early decision sounds appealing because of the acceptance boost they say you get, but what if I don't get enough financial aid and wind up trapped?

How do you guys weigh the benefits of an ED against the financial uncertainties? It’s such a gamble! Would love to hear how you made your decision or any tips you used to strategize this dilemma.
