<p>I know you can't apply to more than one school ED, but I want to apply EA to one school and ED to another. Can I do this or is it that once you apply ED to a school, you can't apply early to any others, including EA? Thanks</p>
<p>Generally. you can apply ED to one school, and still apply EA to other schools. However, if you’re accepted to your ED school, then you have to withdraw your applications from your EA school (or any other non-ED school you applied to).</p>
<p>It might be worth it to check each school’s individual policy, but I’d say most of them are the same.</p>
<p>Ok thanks, that’s exactly the answer I needed</p>
<p>Yes and no. You must check particular colleges. Schools that have ED usually allow you to apply EA elswhere, and most that have EA allow you to apply ED or EA elsewhere; but there are some schools that have EA which: (a) prohibit you from applying ED or EA elsewhere – Yale and Stanford have that rule; or (b) allow you to apply EA elsewhere but prohibit you from applying ED elsewhere.</p>
<p>
Stanford and Yale have Single Choice Early Action (SCEA) where generally, you can only apply to one school early. This policy doesn’t allow students to apply ED anywhere, but there are some exceptions that allow students to still apply early at some schools as long as it’s non binding. Only few schools use SCEA. I believe Stanford, Yale, and Tulane maybe the only universities which do.</p>
<p>Some ED schools don’t let you apply EA to other places though. I think Brown might be one of them but I don’t remember for sure. There definitely are some schools like that so I would read the ED school’s conditions carefully too.</p>
<p>Well to be more specific I’m considering ED to cornell or JHU and EA to villanova</p>
<p>I know that Columbia will let you EA other places. Or if columbia is EA, they let you ED at other schools. One of the two.</p>
