Early Action Schools..

[d122002]

<p>I was wondering as I was filling out my common app..
Can I apply for Standford (Early Action Restrictive) and UChicago (Early Action) at the same time? If yes, can I apply for other non-binding non-restrictive early action schools too? Thanks!</p>

<p>No, if you apply to Stanford EA, you cannot apply to the University of Chicago EA.</p>

@Stanford

Applicants must agree not to apply Early Decision, Early Action or Early Notification elsewhere. Exceptions exist, however, and as a result, Restrictive Early Action applicants may apply to:</p>

<pre><code>* Any institution, public or private, under a non-binding Rolling Admission option.

• Public institutions 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>If you choose to apply to Stanford RD, you can apply to other schools EA.</p>

<p>If you are applying to U Chicago under EA as an international student, you won’t be eligible for financial aid, but can still apply for merit-based scholarship</p>

<p>um, thanks. but doesn’t UChicago have a non-binding Early-Action policy, which I believe falls into one of the exceptions?</p>

<p>d122002: Applying to both Chicago and Stanford early doesn’t break Chicago’s rules. It breaks Stanford’s rules. As is written,</p>

<p>

Applicants must agree not to apply Early Decision, Early Action or Early Notification elsewhere.

<p>Chicago’s process is Early Action. Therefore, you can’t apply to Stanford SCEA if you apply to Chicago EA. Regardless of whether or not Chicago is non-binding (almost all EA is non-binding).</p>

um, thanks. but doesn’t UChicago have a non-binding Early-Action policy, which I believe falls into one of the exceptions?

This would be the case if the University of Chicago was a public institution. That exception was designed so applicants could still apply early to their state universities.</p>

<p>No you cannot.</p>

<p>I would suggest against applying to “Standford” if you can’t even spell the university correctly…</p>

<p>I’m just being a ■■■■■, what everyone else said. :)</p>

<p>they came up with a spelling check, and I make the most out of it.
also, it’s not on the SATs ha</p>
