List of top schools with nonbinding EA (not SCEA) admissions?

Applying to College
1

<p>I was wondering if there's a list of top schools with nonbinding EA</p>

<p>the only schools i can think of are</p>

<p>Notre Dame
Chicago
MIT
CalTech</p>

<p>any others?</p>

2

<p>Yale, I think?</p>

3

<p>Yale is SCEA.</p>

<p>Another to add to the list is Georgetown.</p>

4

<p>what is SCEA…? D:</p>

5

<p>^ Single Choice Early Action</p>

6

<p>Single Choice Early Action - it’s nonbinding, but you can’t apply to any other schools ED/EA.</p>

7

<p>BC is another. Thing about these Catholic schools (Gtown, BC, ND) is that you cannot apply ED elsewhere, only EA. With UChicago, Caltech, and MIT you can apply ED to Penn or Princeton.</p>

8

<p>Princeton doesn’t have an ED/EA program.</p>

<p>oOo, ok thanks. but what are some benefits of applying to several schools on a non-binding EA plan. i mean, if 5/10 of the schools on your list have non-binding EA, should u necessarily do it for all 5…?</p>

<p>My bad, Princeton had it when I appleid. You get the idea though right?</p>

<p>

The benefts are the following:

  1. You hear back early. If you are accepted to 5 schools by December 1, you don’t have to write as many applications and have less stress in April
  2. Some scholarships are only open to students who apply early
  3. It shows more interest in a school (supposedly)</p>

<p>I wouldn’t rush through 5 applications and send in 5 poor applications just to apply EA. However, if you can write 3 good applications for EA schools by Novermber 1, there is no disadvantage in doing so.</p>

<p>Northeastern, Tulane and Notre Dame</p>

12

<p>Fordham</p>

<p>btw, there is a stickied thread with all of this information.</p>
