Each year, families ask whether applying early—through Early Decision (ED) or Early Action (EA)—can make a meaningful difference in college admissions. This year’s results show that, when done thoughtfully, it can.
In the Early Decision and Early Action rounds, our students received 151 offers of admission across 42 colleges and universities. These acceptances span competitive public flagships, highly selective private research universities, and Ivy League institutions, reflecting both academic readiness and strong alignment between students and schools.
Public University Early Action Highlights
Early Action is especially impactful at large public universities, where many seats are filled before regular decision. This year’s results include:
Texas A&M University — 20
University of Michigan–Ann Arbor — 9
University of Texas at Austin — 9
University of Pittsburgh — 7
Pennsylvania State University — 5
Georgia Tech, Indiana University, Ohio State University, Purdue University, University of Washington — multiple
These outcomes underscore how early preparation, realistic targeting, and timely execution matter at competitive public institutions.
Selective Private & Ivy-Plus Acceptances
Students also earned early offers from universities with demanding academic standards and highly competitive early pools:
Carnegie Mellon University, Emory University, New York University, University of Pennsylvania — 5 each
Cornell University, Northwestern University, Stanford University — 4 each
USC — 7
University of Chicago — 3
Early offers also included Ivy League and Ivy-Plus institutions such as Yale University, Princeton University, Brown University, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Duke University, and Rice University, along with elite STEM universities like Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Johns Hopkins University.
