Applying ED...Can you still apply to a school EA?

<p>I know that this can vary from school to school, and I have a feeling that if you apply ED to Penn you can't apply anywhere else EA. Is this true? Can you apply to 1 school EA? Can you apply to more than one school EA? What are Penn's guidelines?</p>

<p>You can apply EA to other schools if you apply ED to Penn as long as those school don't have single choice EA, which means they do not allow you to apply to any binding decision programs, like Penn. Schools that have SCEA include BC, Yale, and Stanford... but there are others</p>

<p>Boston College is not SCEA</p>

<p>There are 3 different types of Early Action</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Non-Restrictive: Notre Dame, Villanova, (MIT...I think)...you can apply to as many of these schools as you want.</p></li>
<li><p>Restrictive: Georgetown...you can apply to other nonrestrictive and restrictive early action schools but you cannot also apply ED to any school (like Penn)</p></li>
<li><p>Single choice: Yale, Stanford...you can only apply to one, and if you do that is the only school you can apply early, all other schools must be RD</p></li>
</ol>

<p>So if i wanted to I could apply to Penn ED and UNC EA and this would be completely fine??</p>

6

<p>yep.......................</p>

7

<p>and for that matter i can apply to as many EA schools and Penn ED so long as that those EA are not Single choice or restrictive?? If so, nice.</p>

8

<p>yup, I applied ED to penn and EA to almost all my other schools</p>

9

<p>that sounds nice...getting almost everything out of the way before the new year and having a good idea where you will be in 10 months!</p>

<p>Georgetown, Notre Dame, and BC are all Restricitve EA</p>

<p>I am pretty that Notre Dame is non-restrictive. But I might be wrong.</p>
