Where applying early may help you most—or not: National UniversitiesApplying early can sometimes boost your chances of getting in. One study of 14 elite schools by Harvard researchers found that applying early decision conferred an advantage equivalent to an extra 100 points on the SAT. Acceptance rates and the design of early plans can change from year to year; in this table, colleges are ranked by the size of the difference between their early and non-early acceptance rates for the class that entered in the fall 2005. The difference in acceptance rates is figured using unrounded data.1.SchoolEarly-decision and/or early-action acceptance rate 2.Non-early acceptance rate 3.Difference in acceptance rate 4.Freshman enrolled through early plans 5.Type of plan (early-decision and/or early-action) 1 2 3 4 5 SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry 95%52%43%32%EA Tulane University (LA)63%31%33%N/AEA, ED SUNY--Albany 87%57%30%26%EA University of Georgia 80%52%28%62%EA Columbia University (NY)39%10%28%N/AED Boston College 52%25%27%32%EA SUNY--Stony Brook 74%47%27%23%EA Stevens Institute of Technology (NJ)70%44%26%32%ED University of Connecticut 65%40%24%55%EA George Washington University (DC)58%36%22%38%ED DePaul University (IL)84%63%22%51%EA Univ. of Maryland--College Park 53%32%21%91%EA Clark University (MA)82%61%21%13%ED Princeton University (NJ)29%8%21%N/AED Northwestern University (IL)49%28%20%26%ED Lehigh University (PA)60%40%20%39%ED Carnegie Mellon University (PA)58%38%20%18%ED U. of North Carolina--Chapel Hill 46%27%19%73%EA Case Western Reserve Univ.
