Like the title says, I’m just wondering if you are allowed to apply to two schools early, one under early decision and one under early action. I do know the difference between early decision and early action, decision being a binding agreement to attend the school, and action being that a choice can be made once the results are given.
If I apply to two schools, one decision and one action, and get accepted to both, I would have to attend the early decision school because that was a binding agreement.
But I’m just wondering if you are allowed to apply that way.
<p>u can apply to 2 non-binding early action schools (yale +harvard are binding)
but if ur apply ED anywhere that is binding and can only apply there early.</p>
<p>Yale and Harvard are not binding. They are also single choice early action meaning you can't apply early anywhere else. You can apply to 2 non single choice EA schools.</p>
<p>If you get in ED, then you have to withdraw your app from the other school. I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of ED schools that allow you to apply EA (not SCEA) to other schools.</p>
<p>Its not against the rules at some schools. So you see, your advice is not very good. :)
I for one am only applying to one school EA, but thats mostly because it's my only fave.</p>
<p>well for the school I want columbia it says it's not prohibited but not encouraged. Does that mean they have more preference to people that only apply early decision and not early action to other schools?</p>
