SCEA rules clarification

<p>This has probably been asked a million times, but I just want to ensure:
I can apply to SCEA as well as two of my state public colleges non-binding early
RIGHT?
I don't want Princeton to hate me :P</p>

<p>You’re safe:</p>

<p>[Princeton</a> University | Single-Choice Early Action](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/single-choice-early-actio/]Princeton”>http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/single-choice-early-actio/)</p>

<p>Under the nonbinding program, you must complete your application by November 1. You may not apply to an early program at any other private college or university…</p>

<p>Please note the following exceptions to the above:</p>

<p>• You may apply to any public institution, as long as the decision is nonbinding.
• You may apply to any international institution, as long as the decision is nonbinding.
• You may apply to any college with a nonbinding rolling admission process.</p>

<p>But what about early action at MIT or Univ of Chicago - these are not single choice - so are these allowed?</p>

<p>Is it only scea for harvad and yale and princeton that block each other?</p>

<p>You cannot apply to MIT or U Chic Early Action if you are applying to Princeton SCEA.
As far as I can tell, the most selective schools with Restricted or Single Choice Early Action are Stanford, Harvard, Yale and Princeton. So you can only apply to one of those 4 early action and the only other schools you can apply to early alongside them are public universities with non-binding early programs.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Do you mean you can’t apply EARLY? I am pretty sure you can still apply RD to MIT or anywhere else.</p>

<p>You cannot apply to any other university’s EARLY ADMISSION (EARLY ACTION or EARLY DECISION) program other than anonbinding early admission program at a public university).</p>

<p>You can of course submit your applications EARLY to any other school’s regular decision program.</p>
