Princton UofChicago Early Action

<p>Can I apply to both Princeton's early action and UofChicagos early admission processes at the same time? Princeton says that one may apply to nonbinding rolling admission with their early action, does the UofChicago come under this category?
Thanks for all the help?</p>

<p>No, Princeton prohibits from applying EA elsewhere and UChicago is EA. Rolling admission is a method of regular admisison under which the college admits as applications are receive and UChicago does not do that.</p>

<p>But on the site Princeton states that it allows Non binding rolling early action which schools does this apply to?</p>

<p>Rolling admissions generally means public schools that don’t admit all at once. Not many top, private schools have rolling admissions.</p>

<p>Ok thanks for the help. :)</p>

<p>Actually Princeton does not prohibit from applying EA elsewhere. You are allowed to also apply EA to public colleges or foreign colleges. In your case, you may not apply to UChicago since its a private college. You could apply to UMich though.</p>

<p>Heres a quote from the Pton website:</p>

<p>May I apply early to an honors program at a public university?</p>

<p>You may apply early to a public college or university, including to a public institution’s honor’s program, as long as the decision is not binding.</p>

<p>Spikemar, I suspect you may have been confused by U Chicago’s name–many people don’t realize it is private because the use of the name “University of [city]” makes it sound like a “University of [state]” public school. University of San Diego and University of Denver are two other private colleges that use this naming convention. But it doesn’t hold true across the board, so you have to investigate. For example, the City University of New York (CUNY) is public, as is University of Houston! </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
