A question about ED

<p>Can an ED applicant apply EA (not SCEA, mind you, but EA) to other schools?</p>

<p>Yes, if the rules of the EA school allow it. (For example, Georgetown doesn't allow anyone who's applied anywhere ED to apply to Georgetown EA. Neither does Boston College.)</p>

<p>Of course, you can only apply ED to one school at a time.</p>

<p>So I would be able to apply EA to a place like UChicago, which imposes no restrictions?</p>

<p>Brown does NOT allow you to apply anywhere EA (even non-restrictive) if you apply there ED.</p>

<p>What burnitblue said is true for almost all ED schools.</p>

<p>Actually, modestmelody, it's not. Most ED schools allow EA applications.</p>

<p>For example, Columbia University states:

While Columbia does not necessarily encourage the filing of both Early Decision (binding) and Early Action (non-binding) applications, we do not prohibit candidates from doing so.

[/quote]
</p>

<p>Dartmouth allows EA applications by specifically prohibiting only additional ED applications (Early</a> Decision)</p>

<p>Swarthmore, Vassar, and other schools do as well.</p>

<p>Applying to one school ED and other schools EA is permitted unless specifically prohibited by either the ED or EA school. Brown and Georgetown (and a few others) are exceptions rather than the rule.</p>

<p>That wasn't the case when I was applying but that was 4 years ago already.</p>

<p>tetrisfan, you cant apply EA to UChicago if you're an int'l asking for FInAId..</p>

<p>But I'm not, so...</p>
