<p>@snowboardchick97 - HYPS are restrictive early action because otherwise most applicants would be applying EA to all four. One reason for early action is to raise their yields and allow more control over the composition of the class- a school with an 80% yield has much more say over the final makeup of the class than one with 30% yield.</p>
<p>You could apply Stanford early action but it means you couldn’t apply UChicago early action at the same time. It’s your call…it may well change your path in life, but all paths are good when you have these options.</p>
