<p>Okay. This is just me being paranoid because I don't want to mess any of this up when applying. So bear with me, here. ^^; I just want to make certain.</p>

<p>First off, this is from Yale's website regarding SCEA: </p>

<p>"Q. I am applying to Yale under the Single Choice Early Action program. Can you explain the rules about applying to other colleges under their various early notification programs? </p>

<p>A. If you are an applicant to Yale under the Single Choice Early Action program, you may also apply to another institution’s early admissions program under the following conditions:</p>

<ol>
<li>You may apply to a public institution in your home state, even if you will receive an admissions decision prior to January 1. (That decision must be non-binding, meaning that you have until May 1 to respond.)..."
...etcetcetc</li>
</ol>

<p>This is from UMich's website regarding it's EA:</p>

<p>"Can I apply to other Early Action/Early Decision/Early Response schools along with Michigan?
Yes. Because our decision is non-binding, you are still permitted to apply to other schools that use an early admissions program such as Early Action or Early Decision."</p>

<p>So UMich is non-binding. Yes, I'm a Michigan resident. Therefore, I am allowed to apply to both Yale's SCEA and UMich's EA, correct?</p>

<p>Yes. You’re correct. Non-MI residents can’t do both UM Early response and SCEA however.</p>
