Arkansas Next is all about helping you move beyond high school to pursue a successful life after graduation. For most of you, that means college or some form of higher education. With that goal in mind, your first step toward that future is getting accepted to the school of your choice.
What's the best way to do that? Well, we recently stumbled on this story on TheDailyBeast.com. The story's author, Steve Cohen says...
"The single biggest advantage students can easily give themselves for getting into a top university: Apply early decision.
By applying early decision—for which the application deadline is usually Nov. 1, two months before most regular-admission deadlines—the applicant agrees to attend that school should they be accepted. Which means kids can only apply early decision to one school. If the school says yes, so must the student.
Many people don’t know that early-decision applicants get an edge when applying to college. What even fewer know is just how big that edge is. It’s enormous. Applying early admission can often double or even triple your child’s chances of getting into a top school. It is the single most effective admissions strategy there is for most students—and the most underutilized."
