Early Action dillema

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys, i heard that some colleges,mainly ivy leagues, treat early action like early decision in that they only let you apply to one school as early action, do you guys know if this is true? I'm planning to apply to 3-4 schools as early actions and I hope that schools don't limit that. thanks!</p>

<p>Stanford, Harvard, and Yale are th only schools like that. They are SCEA. Though u can still apply EA to state schools.</p>

<p>The schools' applications and web sites will make your options clear.</p>

<p>I believe Georgetown is also single choice early action. I figure, if you don't have a set, clear choice (and are applying early decision) why would you need to apply early action to more than one school, cause then, essentially, its just like RD</p>

<p>I think Georgetown is just forbids you to do any other early decision. So you can EA MIT, Georgetown, UChicago, Caltech, and Notre Dame with no worries.</p>

<p>Harvard, Yale, Stanford all have SCEA (single choice early action) which means if you apply EA there, you cannot apply ED or EA at any other school.</p>

<p>Students applying to Harvard under the Early Action program are not ordinarily permitted to apply early elsewhere in the fall, either under Early Action or Early Decision programs. Harvard will rescind its offer of admission to a student who does so. </p>

<p>Princeton has an ED process that indicates you cannot apply EA/Ed at any other school.</p>

<p>Early Decision applicants may not apply under Early Decision or Early Action plans at any other college or university (but may submit Regular Decision applications elsewhere). </p>

<p>Brown:</p>

<p>Early
Decision is reserved for applicants who have not applied to any early program (Early Action or Early Decision).</p>

<p>The ivies do share information and they all honor their joint statment:</p>

<p>Most other schools that have ED policies, have no problem with you applying EA at other schools.</p>

<p>Georgetown has an EA process where if you apply EA there, you cannot apply ED at another school.</p>

<p>In keeping with this principle, students applying under the Early Action program may not apply at the same time to binding Early Decision programs since they then would not be free to choose Georgetown if admitted. Students are welcome to apply to other Early Action programs or other Regular Decision programs while at the same time applying to Georgetown's Early Action program. </p>

<p>most early decision/early action applications do require the signature of both you and your GC stating that you understand the terms of applying ED/SCEA</p>
