Hello,
My friend told me that students are only allowed to apply to one college under Early Action. However, I think she is confusing this with Early Decision. I thought that Early Action was non-binding.
May I apply under Early Action to as many schools as I want?
<p>It depends on the school. For instance, Stanford has Single Choice Early Action (SCEA) .. which means you can apply early to only one college, but it is non-binding.</p>
<p>Yea it really depends. Some EA schools allow you to apply to other colleges, but some forbid it. so make sure you do some research before applying.</p>
<p>I agree with above. You have to read the fine print at every school that is involved and make sure that you aren't violating anything anywhere.</p>
<p>can u guys post some schools that offer non-singleshoice early action program.Thanx</p>
<p>ED: binding, if accepted withdraw application
EA: non binding, you can apply to multiple schools
SCEA: you can only apply to one school through this and nonbinding</p>
<p>A list of all EA schools:</p>
<p>that list includes the SCEAs cuz Yale is on it.</p>
<p>As far as I know, there are only three schools that have SCEA: Harvard, Yale, and Stanford.</p>
<p>Educators are quite concerned about the bad societal effects when applicants use ED as an admissions strategy. Because of this, Stanford and Yale followed by Harvard switched from ED to SCEA in 2003. All three schools have such high yields that they were able to do it painlessly. Other schools may follow in the future, but they are concerned about managing yield.</p>
<p>(Do not apply ED if you also plan to apply for finan aid since you lose the ability to compare FA packages, and you may bind yourself to an very high payment.)</p>
