<p>I don't think most schools are SCEA at all. I think most are EA, no restrictions. I have no data to back this up, however, so I'll just put that out there.</p>
<p>However, "EA" does not mean you can't apply to other early programs; SCEA does, and ED can. That's all I was saying. :)</p>
<p>There are also many, many more. A very large number of universities have some sort of early application process; some have ED, some have EA, some (a small number -- I'm inclined to believe that ONLY Harvard, Yale and Stanford) have SCEA, some have ED I & II, some have EA & ED... and so on. So you'll just have to search school by school. :P</p>
<p>Georgetown, Notre Dame, Cal Tech, MIT & Boston College are some of the better-known EA schools. From what I have heard, Georgetown does not like students who are applying ED someplace to apply EA to Georgetown at the same time. The SCEA schools obviously limit any other applications--the student applying SCEA can only apply to state universities with rolling admissions (and a few other special exceptions).</p>
<p>heh it would've been more strategic if he was applying EA everywhere (even to the single choice EA's) since they're all non-binding. but ED's a different story.</p>
