<p>Do you mean that if we apply to Harvard, we can't apply elsewhere? Can you explain it clearer?</p>
<p>dv,
You are wrong, lth can apply EA to Harvard and apply anywhere else he wants RD immediately. He does not have to wait to hear from Harvard before he applys to other schools. EA is non-binding so he can wait to see what his other offers are before responding to Harvard in the Spring. </p>
<p>lth, when it comes to important questions like these, please go to the college websites rather than listening to posters who may be spreading bad infomation!</p>
<p>"Harvard, Yale and other colleges that have "single choice early action" programs do not allow candidates to apply to other schools during the early-action period only. However, once they receive EA (Early Action) decisions (mid-December), then applicants are free to apply elsewhere, if they so choose."</p>
<p>Straight from the CC site. Please don't criticize others when you yourself don't have the facts straight.</p>
<p>Yes, Harvard is SCEA, which means you can't apply to another EA or ED school, but you are telling lth that he can't apply to ANY school before he hears from Harvard in mid-Dec: "If you apply Early Action to Harvard, you can't apply elsewhere...until you're notified of your decision. Afterwards, you may apply elsewhere."</p>
<p>Straight from the Harvard site:</p>
<p>"Students are allowed to apply in the fall to public institutions under non-binding rolling or Early Action programs, and they may apply to colleges under Interim Decision programs, which inform applicants of admissions after January 1. They may also apply in the fall to any institution under it Regular Action program, and to foreign colleges and universities on any application schedule. "</p>
<p>I will criticize anyone who is spreading missinformation.</p>
<p>Couldn't you just wait until you hear from your ED college in mid-December before sending out other apps? There are two weeks for this; most RD deadlines are Jan 1st. Why not save $1000 if you get accepted to your dream school?</p>
<p>Absolutely, if you're applying ED, you'll just have to recall all of your other applications anyway. The main thing is to make sure you have all of your applications ready before the ED decision comes in. If you wait until you find out, you may be both depressed and rushed to apply to other schools.</p>
<p>However, people that apply EA may have a slightly different strategy as they are often interested in seeing all of the acceptances and comparing aid offers before making a decision.</p>
