<p>does this mean that I can't ED to any other school? only RD for other schools right????</p>
<p>Yes. SCEA is Single Choice Early Action--the acronym is pretty straightforward. ED is by definition single-choice.</p>
<p>Under the exceptions to SCEA instructions, it states:
Students applying to Stanford's Single-Choice Early Action program may apply to:
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>
<p>Clearly states you can apply EA to a public/state university.</p>
