<p>“Our early action plan is non-binding and does not restrict the number of schools to which you can apply.” from UChicago</p>

<p>however, i would say columbia’s policy is closer to Yale’s, which would explicitly say no here.</p>

<p>Q. I am applying to Yale under the Single Choice Early Action program. Can you explain the rules about applying to other colleges under their various early notification programs?</p>

<p>A. If you are an applicant to Yale under the Single Choice Early Action program, you may also apply to another institution’s early admissions program under the following conditions:</p>

<pre><code>1. You may apply to a public institution in your home state, even if you will receive an admissions decision prior to January 1. (That decision must be non-binding, meaning that you have until May 1 to respond.)

  1. You may apply to a public university’s “rolling” admission program if the program is non-binding.

  2. You may apply to a college with an early deadline for scholarship awards, but only if the notification of admission occurs after January 1.

  3. 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>Not quite true.</p>

<p>You can apply to Columbia Early Decision and apply Early Action elsewhere. </p>

<p>The main condition is that you may not apply ED to Columbia and to another ED (binding) program elsewhere.</p>

<p>However many EA programs out there (like Georgetown) restricts you from applying ED if you apply to their EA.</p>

<p>It took me less than 5 minutes to find this information.</p>
