<p>there are no exceptions to this rule, such as being able to apply EA to a public state university to be considered for scholarships? </p>
<p>just checking...</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>you're correct SCEA is just that - single choice. Are you sure you need to actually apply EA or just get in your app by a certain date. For example (and I know it's a priivate school) Villanova used to (2 years ago) allow you to apply RD but if you sent in the app before Nov 1 they treated you for scholarship consideration and such as if you applied early without actually stating that you were early - woth a check out.</p>
<p>you can apply scea to yale, and the only other places you can apply are state universities with rolling admissions.</p>
<p>so... EA to university of maryland college park doesn't qualify? I'm so confused, i've gotten many mixed responses including one from an ap teacher who's worked in college admissions before - she told me i could do EA to maryland even if i was doing a Binding ED or scea.</p>
<p>Which school? Most state universities are "rolling admission" you need to apply early in the season but in no way is the application called "early". IF your are SCEA to Yale you could do UMich or Purdue or UNC but no other application with any such status called "early".......why do you think Yale calls it Single Choice....that means ONE.</p>

<p>YALE tells you the answer right here::
I am applying to Yale under the Single Choice Early Action program. Can you explain the rules about applying to other colleges under their various early notification programs?
If you are an applicant to Yale under the Single Choice Early Action program, then you may not apply to any early program that notifies candidates in December. However, you may apply to another college's early notification program under certain conditions. First, you may apply to a public university's "rolling" admission program if the program is non-binding (a program is non-binding if you have until May 1 to respond). Second, you may apply to a college with a scholarship "deadline" only if the notification of admissions occurs in the regular admissions cycle.</p>
<p>Finally, you may apply to another college's "Round 2 Early Decision" program if notification is after January 1. If you are admitted through another college's "Round 2 Early Decision" program, you must withdraw your application from Yale.</p>

<p>UMaryland States on their admissions website: Fall Admission
Priority Consideration Deadlines:</p>
<p>November 1: Part I application deadline.
Part I contains demographic and educational information and can be completed relatively quickly.</p>
<p>December 1: Part II application deadline.
If Part I has not been submitted, both Part I and Part II are due by December 1. Students who complete their applications by this date will be mailed a decision letter by mid-February. Students should apply by this date for best consideration for merit-based scholarships and invitations to special programs.</p>
<p>This is not an early decision program; all admitted students have until May 1 to confirm their enrollment.</p>
<p>I'm applying to Scripps and IU for scholarships, both of which have deadlines before November 1. I don't think there will be a problem, because neither is officially an "Early Decision" program; I can turn them down if I get into Yale. From hazmat's post, your situation is non-binding as well.</p>
