<p>If I apply Early Decision to one school (i.e. Cornell), can I apply Early Action to another school (i.e. UChicago, which has a nonrestrictive EA policy)?</p>
<p>yes but if you get accepted at both you must go to Cornell.</p>
<p>Some schools yes, some schools no. You'll have to check individually.
For example, Columbia (ED) lets you submit other EA apps, while Princeton (also ED) doesn't.</p>
