Many Ohio private colleges participate in the early action or early decision program.
![Page 42: Welcome Firestone High School Seniors & Parents](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813a32550346895da21bfd/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Is a contract between the student and the school
Student promise, with acceptance to this school, to withdraw all other applications
Student can apply Early Decision to only one school
![Page 43: Welcome Firestone High School Seniors & Parents](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813a32550346895da21bfd/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Early Action

Not a contract between student and school
Student is not obligated to accept school’s offer
Student will receive a decision well in advance of school’s regular response date
