<p>Lets say I'm applying ti UPenn ED. Can I apply to Baylor and University of Notre Dame since their EA applications are non restrictive.</p>
<p>Really confused, help will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Yes. You can apply to Penn ED and still apply to other schools Early Action as long as they are not 1) restrictive or 2) single-choice</p>
<p>Watch out with EA schools as some won't allow you to apply ED elsewhere (i.e. Georgetown)</p>
<p>Right. You have to read the rules for each college to which you are applying ED or EA. But in general:</p>
<p>-- You can only apply ED to one college at a time. (Some colleges have an ED II round after the first ED results come out, so you could wind up applying to two colleges ED, in succession.) If you are accepted ED, you are committed to enroll at that college.</p>
<p>-- Most colleges that offer an ED option don't restrict ED applicants from simultaneously applying EA or rolling admission elsewhere. The notable exception is Brown, which prohibits simultaneous EA applications.</p>
<p>-- Most colleges that offer an EA option don't restrict EA applicants from simultaneously applying EA, ED, or rolling admission elsewhere. Generally, you can have a whole bunch of EA applications in at the same time. If you are accepted EA, you have until May 1 to decide whether to enroll; there's no commitment. However, there are some notable exceptions: Georgetown prohibits applying anywhere ED if you apply EA to Georgetown, and of course Yale and Stanford prohibit applying anywhere else EA or ED if you apply to one of them EA (with some obscure exceptions for some small college late-EA programs).</p>
