<p>What is the difference between early action and restrictive early action? and what it its advantage over RDs. Thanks.</p>
<p>"Regular" EA lets you apply early to as many schools as you would like to, restrictive EA/ Single Choice Early Action (SCEA) only to one school.
Advantages: you get your decision earlier and you might have slightly better chances of being admitted.</p>
<p>thanks .so then wat makes it different from ED. Do we have to withdraw other apps as in early decision?</p>
<p>Both EA and SCEA are not binding as ED is.
You don't have to withdraw your other apps when admitted EA and usually you don't have to respond until April/May (same time as RD candidates).</p>
<p>Thanks. that does the job</p>
