<p>Are you allowed to apply early action to a school and at the same time early decision to a different school? or do you have to decide if you're gonna apply under an early option to 1?</p>
<p>yes, you can do both. however if your ed school accepts you, you are supposed to withdraw all other applications from any other schools you applied.</p>
<p>Not if its Single Choice Early Action. Which is what Yale and Stanford operate under.</p>
<p>And Georgetown doesn't allow you to apply ED anywhere if you apply EA to them, but you can apply EA to as many other schools as you want.</p>
<p>Most schools, however, are not restrictive. In all cases, you can apply only to one school ED and others EA. Check the websites of the schools you're considering; they'll tell you exactly what their rules are.</p>
<p>Yes you can but it all depends on the restrictions a certain school has. Most ED schools will allow you to apply to other places EA. However, it's not always true the other way around. Schools like Georgetown and BC won't allow you to apply ED if you apply to them EA, while schools like Uchic and MIT/CIT don't care.</p>
<p>I think UPenn and Brown are also ED schools that will disqualify you if you apply to any other school if you choose to apply ED to their school. There are very few ED schools that will let you apply somewhere else if you are applying to their school ED since it is binding...part of the contract</p>
<p>oh....i guess not "most" schools then. I just know Columbia ED allows you to apply EA elsewhere</p>
<p>crzy2rite, you're not quite correct. Yes, Brown is restrictive - you can't apply EA anywhere else. Most schools, which includes Penn, are not so restrictive. You cannot apply ED to more than one school, since ED is binding, but you may apply EA to other schools, because it's not binding. Penn's website:</p>

NOTE: A student may apply Early Decision to only one institution. Accordingly, if an applicant for Early Decision to the University of Pennsylvania also applies for Early Decision to another school, the Early Decision application to the University of Pennsylvania will be withdrawn. Further, if any Regular Decision applicant to the University of Pennsylvania is accepted Early Decision under a College Board approved Early Decision plan by any other school, the application to the University of Pennsylvania will be withdrawn.

<p>It says nothing about EA.</p>
<p>Most schools do allow you to apply EA elsewhere if you've applied ED to them. But of course, as noted above, check the websites for each school's individual quirks & limitations.</p>
