Am I allowed to apply for U of Chicago early action AND harvard's SCEA?

[llamalampshade]

<p>question is in the thread title, but for the longest time I thought I was allowed to and now I'm not too sure.</p>

[efeens44]

<p>You aren’t. You can’t apply to another private school’s early program (hence SINGLE CHOICE early action).</p>

<p>For public schools, you can apply for early action programs. But not for private schools.</p>

[llamalampshade]

<p>yeah, when I actually thought about the title I was like “wait a minute” lol
thanks though</p>

[astleyrick53]

<p>But you would be able to for u of m right?</p>

[Latin4Life]

<p>^ No I think only rolling admission schools are allowed with SCEA. Although U of M is technically public, it has early action and regular decision deadlines so it is not allowed.</p>

[gibby]

<p>It’s all very clearly explained on Harvard’s SCEA FAQ webpage: [Harvard</a> College Admissions § Applying: Early Action](<a href=“http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/early.html]Harvard”>http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/early.html)</p>

QUESTION: If I apply single choice early action to Harvard may I apply to another college’s Single Choice Early Action program?</p>

<h2>ANSWER: No.</h2>

<p>QUESTION: If I apply single choice early action to Harvard may I apply to another college’s Early Action program that is not single choice?</p>

<h2>ANSWER: No - unless the college is a public institution.</h2>

<p>QUESTION: If I apply single choice early action to Harvard may I apply to another college’s Early Decision program?</p>

<h2>ANSWER: You may NOT apply simultaneously to Harvard’s Early Action program and another college’s Early Decision program. However, after you receive notification from Harvard’s Early Action program (around December 15), you are free to apply to any institution under any plan, including binding programs such as Early Decision II.</h2>

<p>QUESTION: If I apply single choice early action to Harvard may I apply to another school’s rolling admission program?</p>

<h2>ANSWER: Yes. You may apply to any college or university with a non-binding rolling admissions process.</h2>

<p>QUESTION: I am eligible for scholarships at my home state’s institution only if I apply Early Action. Am I allowed to apply to Harvard Single Choice Early Action as well as to my state school?</p>

<h2>ANSWER:Yes. </h2>

<p>QUESTION: May I apply EA to another public institution if it is not in my home state?</p>

<h2>ANSWER: Yes. You may apply to any public college/university.</h2>

<p>QUESTION: I am also applying to colleges outside of the US – may I apply to them at the same time as I apply EA to Harvard?</p>

<h2>ANSWER: Yes.</h2>

<p>QUESTION: May I apply to another college under its Regular Decision plan before I receive from Harvard the admissions decision on my Single Choice Early Action application?</p>

<p>ANSWER: Yes. You may apply in the fall to any institution under its Regular Decision program.

</p>

<p>@llamalampshade: No, YOU CANNOT apply to UChicago EA and Harvard SCEA! (because UChicago offers non-binding early action, but it’s not a state school and does not offer rolling admissions.)</p>

<p>@astleyrick53: You CAN apply to UMich and Harvard SCEA (because UMich is a state school).</p>

<p>^^agree with gibby:</p>

<p>If you apply to any of the restricted early action schools like Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton…you cannot apply to Chicago, MIT, or Caltech which are PRIVATE non-binding early action schools…</p>

<p>…on the other hand, you can apply to Chicago, MIT, and Caltech all in the early round…but, you would not be able to apply to ANY of the restricted schools listed above…if you do.</p>

<p>…H, S, Y, and P don’t care if you apply to any of the PUBLIC schools in the early round…so choose your poison! Good luck!</p>
