The short answer
44 colleges we checked offer early decision II (ED II) for fall 2027, including NYU, BU, Northeastern, University of Miami, University of Vermont and 39 more. The most common deadline is Jan 15, 2027, at 11 of them.
Early decision II is a second binding round, usually due in January. It's a way to tell a college it's your first choice after you've heard back from (or skipped) the first round. If you get in, you go, so apply only if you'd say yes, and check the cost first.
