The Differences Among Early Decision (I), Early Decision II, Early Action, Single Choice Early Action, Rolling Decision, Priority Decision.
There are two important distinctions among all of these "early notification" types (generic term for early applications): Whether acceptance result is "binding" or "non-binding" and whether the university is private or public. "Binding" means that the acceptance decision is an unbreakable contract (the student must enroll if accepted), and the only two ways out of the "binding" acceptance decision is not to attend ANY university that year/cycle, or if the student is applying for financial aid (so only US citizens and US alien residents), the financial aid package does not meet all financial needs. This second is difficult to prove, and student side rarely wins. Among the list of Early Notification products, Early Decision and Early Decision II are binding. However, students can apply to many public universities including those offering early notification, and students can still apply Early Decision I (the "binding" early notification product) to ONE other private university. Additionally, Early Decision and Action products from PRIVATE universities (some public universities use these same names too) CANNOT be mixed: students cannot apply to one or several Early Action private universities AND ALSO apply Early Decision I to a private university. Some Early Decision universities say that these can be mixed, but Early Action private universities all (at least in the top 50 rank ones) state clearly on their website that students cannot. I've seen students get black listed (dropped from all other universities, in July before their September start of year) when students used such a mix of Early Decision and Early Action applications. I know I left a lot of questions unanswered here because of space constraints, but feel free to ask questions, and I'll answer.
