I am considering applying early action with a 24 ACT. All of my other accolades are outstanding and go way beyond their requirements. Would I have a better chance applying early action or waiting to retest once more then apply regular decision?
So I should apply early action but then just update my scores if I don’t get one EA.After just returning from Genesis my understanding of the difference between the process at EA and RA is as such.
EA can have 4 outcomes 1. Offer Place 2. Reject 3. Offer Scholarship 4. Hold
The 4th outcome Hold means your application is held and reviewed again at RA.
RA can have 4 outcomes 1. Offer Place 2. Reject 3. Offer Scholarship 4. Waitlist
You can update your application throughout the lifecycle of the process as USNA2014PP mentions above.

The process I have laid out was stated during Genesis on Monday this week.I would call the USCGA admissions office tomorrow morning and get the official policy of what happens if you do not receive an appointment during EA. Policies can change and have changed from year to year.
Maybe Objee will respond with the current policy.
