***E.A. vs E.D.***

<p>this might sound stupid, but can you apply to more than one school EA?
and can you apply to EA **and **ED?</p>

<p>thanks! :)</p>

<p>One school ED; as many as you want EA.</p>

<p>You may also apply EA to any number of schools that have EA admission and one ED school, but if you get into the ED school you are saying that you will enroll as long as finances work out. ED is binding, EA is not.</p>

<p>This is disregarding single choice EA, however. Some schools (like Yale) only allow you to apply EA to one school, but it isn't binding. I think Yale and maybe Stanford are the only schools with this program.</p>

<p>Yes to both, unless it is SCEA. But if you're admitted to both, you must attend (unless you have to withdraw for financial reasons) the ED school and withdraw the other EA applications.</p>

<p>There are three types of "early" policies:
ED: Only apply to one school early. If you're accepted, you have to attend.
SCEA: Single Choice EA. You can only apply to one school early (no more EAs and no ED), but it's non-binding.
EA: You can apply to as many schools EA as you'd like. You can apply EA and ED, but not EA and SCEA.</p>

<p>There are also a few EA schools (such as, I believe Georgetown) that allow you to apply EA to other schools, but not ED. Sort of another form of SCEA...</p>

<p>wow thanks everybody, this really helped clarify!</p>

<p>@fhg
yes, your are right about Georgetown.</p>
