<p>whoa i guess this didn't even cross my mind but ...
can i apply to university of michigan early response and apply to yale scea? </p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>That would defeat the purpose of scea, no?</p>

<p>A. If you are an applicant to Yale under the Single Choice Early Action program, you may not apply to any early admissions program that notifies candidates in December, whether or not that program is binding. However, you may apply to another college's early notification program under certain conditions. First, you may apply to a public university's "rolling" admission program if the program is non-binding (meaning that you have until May 1 to respond). Second, you may apply to a college with an early deadline for scholarship awards, but only if the notification of admission occurs after January 1. Finally, you may apply to another college's "Round 2 Early Decision" program, but only if notification is after January 1. If you are admitted through another college's "Round 2 Early Decision" program, you must withdraw your application from Yale.

<p>In tangent, I think this is the ultimate stupidity in a long line of ill-advised "early decision" admissions practices. Do they realize how silly it sounds to arbitrarily determine that any program who notifies you early is bad, and you have to hear ONLY from Yale early? It's one thing when the decision is binding, quite another when, as is the case with Yale, it is not...</p>
<p>In any case, I would definitely interpret UMich's Early Response as a violation to the SCEA agreement, but not their rolling admissions. So -- apply to UMich early on in the process, just not Early Response. (And who knows, you might even get a decision sooner.)</p>
<p>U of M's easly response is just rolling admission with a guaranteed answer by December 21 if you apply by October 31. There were very significant delays with admissions decisions last year. Early response FAQ's :</p>

<p>it seems to me (and the plurality of answers already given) that the line is a bit hazy ... should i just email/call yale and ask? this is kind of ridiculous .. =)</p>
<p>u can only single choice early action one school meaning u can only apply to one school rearly. since umich is rolling, it does not fall under the early category. so u can do it!</p>
<p>^ UMich's early response doesn't fit under any of the categories that Yale would let slide, so it's a 'no.'</p>
<p>My opinion- apply to UMich on Nov. 1.</p>
<p>Tell us what Yale says if you call them! I'm doing the same thing too except I just automatically assumed Early Response is part of rolling admissions...after all, there's no "early response" box to check on the application =/</p>
<p>I'm really thinking that you can considering the fact that if you apply by October 31, there's no other option.</p>
<p>However, I would call Yale if I were you. No reason to get rejected because of something that stupid.</p>
<p>U of Mich is a PUBLIC U. Therefore you CAN apply to Mich. and apply SCEA to Yale.</p>
<p>in the same vein, anybody know if UMD and Yale would be OK? UMD's site specifically says "this is not an early decision program," they just notify you by march 1.</p>
<p>University of Maryland or University of Minnesota - Duluth?</p>
<p>If they notify you by March 1st, you're completely in the clear.</p>
<p>The Yale admissions rep that oversees the midwest just gave an info session and he said that Yale has determined that UMich's early response doesn't conflict with their SCEA. This very question was asked and he said you can do both.</p>
<p>"Do they realize how silly it sounds to arbitrarily determine that any program who notifies you early is bad, and you have to hear ONLY from Yale early? It's one thing when the decision is binding, quite another when, as is the case with Yale, it is not..."</p>
<p>Yale's approach pretty much guarantees that Yale is the first choice of those who apply there early. That helps Yale's yield. The reason they let you do rolling admissions is that they think it is unlikely you will turn down Yale to go to U.Mich.</p>
<p>T26E4, thanks so much for confirming this, i forgot to call and this is a great relief =)</p>
<p>just an update--wanted to let you all know on further confirmation.. i called up yale today and they said umich's early response is fine because it's a "modified rolling admissions program"</p>
<p>Same with UNC EA and Yale SCEA. We called and Yale said it was fine. I believe my son heard from UNC before Christmas, although technically UNC's response was supposed to come in Jan. It wasn't a problem. He was accepted to both, although deferred originally by Yale.</p>
