<p>It says on the website for Early Action:

[QUOTE]

Because the Common Application only allows candidates to apply to one institution online under a Restrictive Early Action program, applicants who meet one or more of the qualifications above will need to apply using the Regular Decision option. As soon as an applicant submits his/her application (no later than November 1), the applicant must e-mail (no later than November 1) a signed statement and rationale for why they are requesting to be changed to Stanford's Restrictive Early Action option. The email should be sent to <a href="mailto:credentials@stanford.edu">credentials@stanford.edu</a>.

[/QUOTE]

<p>So does that mean once I submit my common application before November 1st, I have to email them telling them I want to be in EA? </p>

<p>Also I am looking into applying at Stanford for either Aeronautical engineering or computer science, how good is the career placement for this at Stanford? Anyone currently going though it? And how hard is it to get in for those majors?</p>

<p>Ahh crap can't edit but how will Stanford know that I only applied to it for Early Action? Is it because it is on common application? What if one college I apply to isn't using common application, can I still do Early Action??</p>

<p>According to Stanford's website,
"Applicants must agree to submit only one Restrictive Early Action application and cannot apply Early Decision, Early Action or Early Notification elsewhere. Exceptions exist, however, and as a result, Restrictive Early Action applicants may apply to:
* Any institution, public or private, under a non-binding Rolling Admission option.
* Public institutions in a student's home state under a non-binding Early Action program.
* Foreign colleges/universities on any application schedule.
* Institutions whose early application deadlines are a requirement for consideration for special academic programs or scholarships only if the notification of admission occurs after January 1.
* Institutions under an Interim Decision program only if the notification of admission occurs after January 1."</p>

<p>If you break the rules and they find out, I think both schools reject you automatically...</p>
