Summary of Application Experience
I did early decision. Most schools have their criteria for early decision acceptance on their websites. I would highly recommend it if you are sure about where you want to go. I found out Sept 27th of my senior year, before a few of my friends had even submitted their AMCAS. If you want a low stress application process, do this.
