<p>Does Cornell's early decision policy allow for simultaneous non-single choice early action applications to other schools? Eg. Cornell ED + U of Chicago EA + Rolling U of M Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>read the policy very carefully. If it doesn't say you can't, you can. Last years didn't prohibit it.</p>
<p>I don't see why it wouldn't allow multiple early applications, seeing as if they accept you, you still have to go, and if they don't, you're up for grabs by all schools anyway. I did rutgers rolling along with Cornell ED and was going to do Chicago EA before I decided I didn't want to be that far away.</p>
<p>You definitely can do ED Cornell and rolling Michigan...EA (not single-choice) was allowed previously, so if Cornell doesn't change the policy, you should be fine.</p>

Cornell does not list any restrictions on applying EA simultaneously, but I specifically remember reading about restrictions somewhere.

Penn doesnt either.</p>
<p>"Remember that an early-decision application is a commitment. You can apply under early decision to only one college or university"</p>
<p>am i the ONLY ONE who sees this ??? i mean if what u guys sed was true why didnt we all apply early to all universities! ??? im lost...but i know wut i read</p>
<p>um, I did Chicago EA in addition to an ED (deferred, long story loll).</p>

Yes, and that means they do not explicitly prohibit applying non-single choice early action, or rolling, to other schools.</p>
<p>ashernm: for this current year? or in the past, or last year, or what? because last year they definitely did not have a restriction printed on the app. prohibiting applying more than one place early action...i read very carefully</p>
<p>sparcticus, I just remember reading somewhere, though it wasn't Cornell's. The rules were like this, if you were applying ED or EA to this institution:
1. You cannot apply early to other institutions
2. You may apply for rolling admissions.
3. You can apply early for scholarships.
4. You can apply for international universities on a different timetable.</p>
<p>ok, well, if it wasn't cornell, and it wasn't explicitly printed on the applicatoon, it doesn't "count," as you might say. You sign the ED contract, and the rules/stipulations are printed above, just like any legal document.</p>
<p>i dont get wut u meant wen u responded to my post sparticus, u seem to think that u can apply early to other schools ? i just dont get it doesnt the quote i used SAY u cannot go early NEwhere else</p>
<p>I think that you can apply ED at Cornell.. however... note one important thing... you can apply for rolling admissions anywhere... but the colleges that have Early Action.. like Harvard.... they might have policies that you cannot apply there if u are applying for ED somewhere else.</p>
<p>You can apply early DECISION to only one school, martinez; you can still apply non-single choice early action elsewhere (applying ED and single choice early action is in violation of the single choice's policy). Harvard has single choice early action, so you cannot apply early elsewhere.</p>
<p>lol, so confusing, they basically made that rule to break the first one, or bend around it neway, lol ,so funny, such a strange system to me in the US, seems to me they just made up that phrase, single choice early action..i dunno, just seems that way, i still really dont get it</p>
<p>these are the application styles:
Early Decision: You apply early, if they accept you, you have to go. Some contracts stipulate that you cannot apply anywhere else early.</p>
<p>Single-Choice Early Action: You apply early, but you are not bound to attend. However, you cannot apply anwhere else early.</p>
<p>Early Action: You apply early, but you are not bound to attend.</p>
<p>Early Decision II: A second ED decision date, later than regular Early Decisions, but still earlier than Regular Decisions. This is binding.</p>
<p>Regular Decision: The normal college application--apply in january, find out...when was it, march, april? I forget ;)</p>
<p>Rolling Decision: Apply whenever, find out whenever (as little as a couple weeks, could be months). This is exempt from single choice ED and EA contracts as far as I'm aware.</p>
<p>The point of SCEA is to gain the "we want your school most" factor from students of regular early decision without locking students down.</p>
<p>k, thnks that helps, so which is cornell/?</p>
<p>k wait, i think cornell is ur first one, early decision, where u CANNOT apply newhere else early, basically what i thought it was all along, so how can u apply early to others?</p>
<p>Just because you have to go if you get in doesn't mean you can't apply other places early...</p>

<p>but it says so, right?</p>
