EA policy

<p>I've been reading online about the UC Early Action policy but im not sure about something.</p>

<p>so i can apply there EA and not be committed whatsoever? I know at other schools you cant apply elsewhere or you have a hard time coming out of your agreement if the FA isnt good enough?</p>

<p>so is the UC EA policy really that good or am i missing something?</p>

<p>UC EA policy IS really that good</p>

<p>i am in shock. this is awesome.</p>

<p>haha, yeah that’s how it works.</p>

<p>just to clarify one last time, there is no binding for FA at all? They’re ok if you dont go there when accepted?!?</p>

<p>and whats the situation with FA when applying EA? is it considerably less?</p>

<p>FA is the same regardless of EA or RD acceptance. There is no binding FA. It’s okay if you don’t go there when accepted. We’re one of the good guys, along with MIT and Caltech. Good luck!</p>

<p>thanks again haha. I sent you a PM btw Phuriku…just wondering if you could help a little bit. maybe just post your answer here, my inbox is gettin full haha</p>

<p>Just in case you needed additional confirmation, yes, the UofC admissions office is really chill about these things. At first, I thought it was a bit naive for them to have such a lax policy, but later on I realized that it’s actually quite smart. Although it was my first choice, I’m not sure I’d have applied ED. So instead, they had a four-month headstart on wooing me after I was accepted EA compared to my RD schools.</p>

<p>Anyway, good luck!</p>
