Is early action right for me

Question

while applying to early action,  you are committing to attend Fuqua if admitted  in addition to withdrawing any other applications and paying $3000 within a few weeks of admission.

What happens if you violate this commitment?

Hey Naulakh,

So the concept of the Early Action rounds is that they want the people who are really interested in Duke and have Duke as their first choice. That is the reason they ask you to pay up more than R1 or R2 folks. You can at any point of your admission cycle opt out but will lose those $3000 dollars which are non-refundable

Hope i answers your question

Kudos if it helps

I will say if you want to go for Fuqua only, Go for it, Early Action will give you edge over other applicants. and your chances do increase. Fuqua is surely one of the most Amazing B-schools so if you have chances to study in one, don't let it go.

That's actually half true.

Early action is binding. Means, if you get it, you must go

Legal actions will be taken against you and your admissions will be cancelled to any other University and also depending on if or not you join, your fine will be forthcoming

My recommendation: Do not ever apply to Early Action (Binding round) if you are unsure about the college or your financial/life situations.
There is a reason they explain the EA terms.. something like
 Candidates who apply through the Early Action Round may apply to other MBA programs. However they agree not to apply to other binding admissions programs. If admitted to the Daytime MBA program, Early Action candidates agree that they will immediately withdraw their
applications at other schools and refrain from submitting new applications.

Do not apply for early decision lightheartedly. It could come back to haunt your other college applications and the rest of your academic career. Schools share EA decision results and not abiding to policies may have legal consequences. Better play safe.

R1 is as good as EA in case you are unsure about the college.
