For international families applying to U.S. universities, when and how a student applies can be an important part of the admissions strategy. Early Decision, Early Action, Restrictive Early Action, Regular Decision, and Early Decision II each come with different deadlines, rules, and considerations.

In this webinar, Guidewell Global College Counsellor Adam D’Arcy will break down the major application plans and what families should consider before choosing an approach. He’ll explain the differences between binding and non-binding options, how early applications can shape a student’s overall college list, and when applying early may—or may not—make sense.

Families will leave with a clearer understanding of their options and the key questions to consider when building an application plan.
