<p>I wanted to apply to either Brown or Columbia ED, but also apply to University of Chicago and Georgetown EA.</p>
<p>Would that be possible? Am I allowed to apply to one ED and then some EA's, provided I withdraw those apps/acceptances if I get accepted to the ED school?</p>
<p>check and make sure none of them is single choice early action or decision. if none of them are, then go ahead, and good luck!</p>
<p>but if just one of them is, you have to only apply to that one early or take that one out of your early list.</p>
<p>weren't early deadlines back in the beginning of november? it's almost time for the decisions to be mailed out...</p>
<p>chicago is ok, but georgetown doesn't allow you to apply ea if you are applying ed somewhere else. and yes amlariul is right, the deadlines for both were nov. 1, so unless you are a junior...</p>
<p>you can't do EA and ED, period. its not allowd</p>
<p>^^^uhhh yeah you can.</p>
<p>Yes you can.</p>
<p>You can apply EA if you're applying ED as long as the EA isn't single choice.</p>
<p>The following Boston College website clearly explains Early Action, Early Decision and RESTRICTIVE EARLY ACTION. You need to check the policy of the particular college as rules vary -- but YES it is sometimes okay to apply ED and EA (nonrestrictive EA). </p>
<p>"The three main types of early admission programs are Early Decision, Early Action, and Restrictive Early Action:</p>
<p>EARLY DECISION
Early Decision institutions typically limit students to applying to only one Early Decision program. MOST ALSO ALLOW STUDENTS TO APPLY TO EARLY Action INSTITUTIONS, with the understanding that if they are admitted to the ED school they will attend and withdraw their other college applications. Usually, the only way students would be released from their commitment is if the financial aid package is not sufficient for them to afford the cost of attendance. One of the problems that some students encounter is that financial aid packages are not always provided at the time of the early offer. Admitted students may withdraw all of their applications in January, but then learn in the spring that they are not able to afford the Early Decision institution. These students are then left in the precarious situation of having no institution to attend.</p>
<p>Early Action programs allow students to apply ahead of time, but do not require that students attend the university. Early Action applicants to Boston College are free to apply to other schools during the Regular Admission process, and therefore can make an informed decision by May 1st. Institutions have different rules regarding whether or not students may apply to more than one Early Action school, so it is always best to review each of your potential schools' policies.</p>
<p>Restrictive Early Action programs vary, but generally allow students to apply early to only one school, with the understanding that they may apply regular admission to others. If admitted early under one of these programs, students would not be required to enroll, but would be limited in their ability to apply elsewhere (or not allowed, at all).</p>
<p>Yeah, I just did: BC (EA), Catholic (EA), Tulane (EA), and Tufts ED I....got into Tufts, everything was fine.</p>
<p>Gerorgetown states:</p>
<p>*Georgetown's Early Action program is grounded in the belief that students should be free to choose among colleges until the Candidate's Reply Date. Accordingly, accepted students will have the same reply date (May 1) as all candidates.</p>
<p>In keeping with this principle, *students applying under the Early Action program may not apply at the same time to binding Early Decision programs since they then would not be free to choose Georgetown if admitted. **Students are welcome to apply to other Early Action programs or other Regular Decision programs while at the same time applying to Georgetown's Early Action program.</p>
