Should You Apply Early Decision? Here's What You Need to Know

We’re kicking off the brand-new season — and our new name — Ol’ College Try! 🎓

In this episode, hosts Matt Carpenter (Co-Founder of College Aid Pro) and Peg Keough (Director of Education) break down one of the biggest questions in college admissions: Should your student apply Early Decision?

They unpack what Early Decision really means, how it impacts acceptance rates, financial aid, scholarships, and family budgets, and whether it’s actually worth it. You’ll hear real stories from families, insider tips on how colleges use Early Decision to their advantage, and practical advice on how to decide if it’s the right move for you.

Plus, meet the Futurebirds — the incredible band behind our new intro and outro music — and find out why we’re giving college planning an Ol’ College Try!
