<p>So I am applying to one college early action. Since I have to submit the common app there, I was wondering if I could submit it to other colleges too. Do you think it would be confusing to the admissions officers at the other colleges if I sent the common app in before the early deadline even if I mark that I'm applying regular decision?</p>

No? I’m sure a big chunk of apps are submitted well before the RD deadline… you definitely won’t be in the minority.</p>
<p>They might not review your app until they get through the EA/ED apps at that school, but there’s nothing wrong with submitting it early.</p>
