<p>Can I apply SCEA to Yale and "early notification" to UNC Chapel Hill?</p>
<p>For some reason I thought I saw someone say once that you could do that with state schools. I might be totally wrong, though.</p>
<p>Yes you can do that with state schools ... they MUST be public schools.</p>
<p>Yes that is completely OK. State schools with admissions programs like UNC has are perfectly compatible with Yale's SCEA program. I am 110% sure of this, but go ahead and look it up for your own peace of mind. Just remember that you can't apply early to any other schools.</p>
<p>Why can you apply EA to state schools but not private schools? I thought it was just rolling admissions that was acceptable.</p>
<p>can you apply early to state schools even if there not in-state?</p>
<p>I know this is true for Stanford's SCEA, but I have looked all over the Yale site and I can't find where it says your allowed to apply to state school early program's. </p>
<p>Can anyone give a link?</p>
<p>Here's the answer I received when I asked about state school EA programs:</p>
<p>"You may apply SCEA to Yale and apply to any school with rolling admissions; however, you cannot apply to another school's early notification program with a December notification date."</p>
<p>So if UNC's notification is in January, that's fine?</p>
<p>Ok um... why are you asking high school kids if they're not 100% trustworthy? Just call the admissions office and stop trying to read between the lines. They're the ones making these policies - they're the ONLY ones who can answer your question accurately with undeniable reliability.</p>
<p>"Single-Choice Early Action
Candidates who are admitted early need not respond to the offer of admission until May 1, and may apply Regular Decision to other schools. The Yale plan is unlike standard Early Action programs in that candidates may not apply Early Action or Early Decision to any other school if applying early to Yale. (Put another way, students who are candidates for another college's Early Action or Early Decision program may not apply for Single-Choice Early Action at Yale.) Candidates receive their decisions in mid-December. If you apply early to Yale, you will be asked to sign the Single-Choice Early Action Agreement stating that you intend to file only the one Yale early application. Single-Choice Early Action candidates are evaluated in the same way as are those who apply Regular Decision."

<p>Thanks for the excerpt, but it says absolutely nothing about state EA. This is the same question I had, because I found the same thing as you, but I couldn't find anything at all about state EA.</p>
<p>Why would 'state EA' be any different?</p>
<p>Well, I thought state EA might be different since 1) some states have notification dates that occur AFTER Yale's, 2) many states are on a rolling admissions basis, so there isn't a conclusive deadline, and 3) many states' merit aid applications are due before Yale's SCEA notification (for example, the local university I'm applying to has a Nov. 1 deadline for merit aid scholarships). </p>
<p>I'm pretty sure I remember reading or hearing that SCEA does not extend to these rolling admissions states programs. I think I'll call the admissions office and ask anyway, though.</p>
<p>Yale's policy deals with other EA and ED programs without differentiating between December and January notification dates.</p>
<p>Rolling admissions and EA are entirely different systems. Rolling is always acceptable, with SCEA, EA, and ED.</p>
<p>You can apply to any school before Yale's deadline if you apply SCEA, as long as you aren't applying under their EA or ED system. So you can still apply to that university by November 1. Hell, you could apply to all your schools by November 1 as long as you're applying RD.</p>
<p>But yes, call the admissions office and check up on their policy.</p>
<p>Mmkay, thank you!</p>
