Should You Apply Early Decision? A Psychological Perspective
Early Decision is more than a tactic—it’s a commitment. It should come from true alignment with a school, not fear or prestige. We guide families to make the choice thoughtfully and with confidence.
Early Decision can be tempting. But it’s not just a strategy. It’s a commitment. We often ask families: Is your desire to apply early coming from confidence — or from fear of not getting in later? ED isn’t for every student. It’s for those who have deep alignment with the institution, not just prestige hunger. The decision should feel grounded, not rushed. At EdAstra, we help students and parents sit with the emotional weight of the ED choice before making it tactical.
