Quick Question about Early Action

[lilylovesyou10]

<p>If you apply Early Action somewhere, do other universities know that you applied to a certain school with Early Action? Or do they have no clue? I've been considering Early Action for Stanford (my DREAM SCHOOL!!!) but my mom says that if I do, other universities are going to see it so she discouraged me from doing so.</p>

<p>Edit- I just realized this should be in College Admissions. Sorry!</p>

<p>If you apply EARLY ACTION, you can apply to as many schools as you want and they’d have no clue. However, Stanford only offers SINGLE-CHOICE EARLY ACTION (SCEA), so you can only apply to one. (You can also apply one ED school and one SCEA school, I think)</p>

No, you can’t. Single choice means just that - it is the only Early application one can submit, with (for Stanford), the following exceptions:

Students applying to Stanford’s Restrictive/Single-Choice Early Action program may apply to:</p>

<p>Any institution, public or private, under a non-binding Rolling Admission option;
Public institutions under a non-binding Early Action program;
Foreign colleges/universities on any application schedule;
Institutions whose early application deadlines are a requirement for consideration for special academic programs or scholarships only if the notification of admission occurs after January 1; and to
Institutions under an Interim Decision program only if the notification of admission occurs after January 1.

<p>And no, no other school needs to see that you applied to Stanford at all, much less SCEA.</p>
