Early Action and Early Decision

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello, I have come across a minor problem and just checking for reassurance. So...</p>

<p>I am applying Early DECISION to Duke. And
I am applying Early ACTION to the University of Michigan.</p>

<p>I understand that Duke's ED is binding, and University of Michigan's is not. My question is, some colleges don't allow you to apply early anywhere else (even non-restrictive early action) if you are doing ED to their school. From what I have read, Duke does not apply this principle and neither does Michigan. I am just making sure because I don't want any last second difficulties.</p>

<p>I am allowed to do this, correct?</p>

<p>Duke allows you to apply to other EA scenarios – you just have to fully understand that if Duke accepts you in the ED round, you must withdraw all other active applications. UMich is non restrictive – they don’t care where ever else you’re applying.</p>

<p>Basically, your plan is sound.</p>

<p>Thanks, that gave me the reassurance I need! You’re the best!</p>
