<p>Hey you guys,
is Yale going to do away with the Early admission program next year? Is Princeton doing that too? What other universities plan to do that too?</p>
<p>So far just Harvard and Princeton have announced that they will do away with it. Yale seems to have indicated that it will, at least for next year, keep its early action program.</p>
<p>do the same rules for SCEA apply for this new plan? Meaning can you still only apply to one?</p>
<p>I'm not sure what "new plan" you're talking about... could you be a bit more specific?</p>
<p>I think he just means for next year, and yes I don't think Yale has announced any change in the status quo for next year's admissions.</p>
<p>okay. you know how princeton and harvard have done away with SCEA? I am asking if that allows you to apply to say, both princeton and harvard early because that is the only plan available?</p>
<p>No, you don't understand what has happened.
There will be no such thing as an "early" program (beginning next year) at either Harvard or Princeton. (Princeton used to be ED, Harvard was EA).The only program to exist will be regular decision.
Yale, as of right now, has not announced its decision for next year's program; as of right now, Yale will still have Single-Choice Early Action next year, meaning you can only apply to Yale under any early program, but it is not binding.</p>
<p>Wait, your question isn't making much sense, so here is some broad-spectrum analysis.</p>
<p>This year, Princeton, Harvard, and I think UVA have announced that their will remove their respective early programs for the application process. This was supposed to combat the supposition that early programs harm lower-income families and minorities. That means, you cannot apply early to these schools AT ALL. Their deadlines will be in January, and you only got one shot at the apply, in regular decisions. As of right now, Yale, and other schools, have not budged towards this decisions.</p>
<p>I find Harvard's and Princeton's decision ridiculous.</p>
<p>I'm surprised they just didn't jump on the SCEA bandwagon. I understand how ED might work against lower-income families and minorities, but I don't see how EA does.</p>
<p>heh sirius you beet me to it.</p>
<p>They say that lower-income families generally don't have as many resources in their schools and families, and thus either can't apply early, or aren't aware that early option exists. Thus, the higher-incomes receive a benefit.</p>
<p>I think it's flawed logic, but w/e.</p>
