<p>I'm an international student and I'm going to apply EA to Yale this year, I'm wondering what people are talking about when they say they've applied EA to Yale and EA to another university at the same time. How is this possible? Can I take advantage of this as an international student?</p>
<p>You really can’t apply EA to Yale and some other school. People have gotten away with it in the past, but they did so in direct violation to Yale’s SCEA policy. I wouldn’t risk it. If you like other schools with EA programs, apply early to them. If Yale is your top pick, apply there SCEA. But do not combine those options.</p>
<p>I’m a little worried when I see other people’s school choices and I see them applying EA to more than 1 school, it makes you kind of feel you’re not getting the point of SCEA.</p>
<p>However, Yale does state that you can apply to a public uni in your home state, even if reply is in Decem, anybody knows how international students could take advantage of this?</p>
<p>Am I allowed to apply to a public university in my country as well as Yale EA?</p>
<p>YOu can apply SCEA to Yale and to your local in-state school. I believe that you can also apply to schools where you need to apply early to get scholarships, they just can’t notify you before January(?)</p>
<p>The more important exception is that you can apply to ANY public university (not just home state) with a non-binding rolling admissions program. That accounts for something like 3/4ths of American public universities. International students can certainly take advantage of that.</p>
<p>As for home-country public universities, (a) I would guess the same rules apply, but (b) I wouldn’t act on that without confirming it with Yale Admissions.</p>
