Quick Question on Harvard EA

Applying to College
1

<p>I was wondering whether I could apply to Harvard and UVA (my public in state institution) early action? Thanks I am just a bit confused by what their website says.</p>

<p>You can apply to Harvard EA at the same time as you apply RD to your public school in-state, but you cannot apply to both Harvard EA and UVA EA.</p>

<p>…mmmmm call and check. Yale faced this similar situation with their SCEA. Many in-state Michigan residents applied to both Yale’s SCEA and UMich’s “early notification” admissions round. Last year UMich officially adopted the term “early action” but Yale said it was OK for the students to still apply to both if they were in-state. My guess is that they would have allowed VA residents to do the same.</p>

<p>By inference, I think Harvard may allow the same exceptions. But regardless, you should call and ask them DIRECTLY. Once you find out, plz retn and tell us what they said.</p>

<p>From the Harvard site:</p>

<p>^ Exactly I did read that before posting this question.</p>

<p>By in the fall, students may apply to public institutions under rolling or nonbinding program mean I can apply to UVA—UVA has early action–its public and EA is nonbinding…</p>

<p>Just the wording in confusing so I wanted to make sure.</p>

<p>I agree that the wording is very confusing. Better to call and ask than to risk admission because of a silly mistake.</p>

<p>I just called their admissions office. You can apply to any public institution in the country early as long as it is nonbinding at the same time as you are to Harvard. :slight_smile: I’m applying early to UVA too!</p>
