<p>You can apply early decision to only one school. If you apply ED you can usually apply early action elsewhere unless ED college says you cannot. Cornell allows you to apply EA elsewhere. Note, however, you also have to check EA school to make sure it does not prohibit you from applying ED elsewhere, which some EA schools do but most have no restriction.</p>

<p>Okay I think UChicago is EA and i want to apply there thanks! and can you apply to UPenn??</p>

<p>You can only apply to one school for ED. Period. There’s a binding agreement that you have to sign; it states if you were admitted under ED, then you agree to matriculate at that school at that fall and withdraw all applications you submitted with other schools. While the ED agreements are general in terms of matriculation, schools do have varying ED policies; look it up.</p>

<p>A little note of caution for EA, if you choose this route for your college applications: Do read the fine print and make sure that you’re aware of the difference between SCEA (Single-Choice Early Action) and normal Early Action. If you apply SCEA, (this option is available at certain schools. Example: Stanford University, Tulane University) the binding agreement you sign is somewhat similar to the ED agreement, but its a bit lenient. You agree to only apply to one school for SCEA (you cannot submit EA applications to other schools). However, you are free to turn down their admission offers they send your way, if the school accepts you; you’re not bound to attend the school in the fall if you get accepted.</p>

<p>Hope that helps</p>

<p>^OP, read this. It sounds like you’re not entirely sure of the rules of ED, and I wonder if you’re also unaware that it is a binding agreement (barring serious financial constraints).</p>

<p>Upenn has only ED so you cannot apply ED to there because you have already applied ED to Cornell. Again, you can apply ED only to one college. UChicgo has EA and it allows you to apply ED elsewhere (which you have to Cornell) and EA elsewhere, so you can apply EA to it. As noted, since you applied ED, you are required to attend Cornell if admitted. EA is non-binding in that if admitted EA to a college you are not required to accept.</p>
