<p>Could someone please expalin, I still don't completely understand.</p>
<p>ED - Early Decision. If you get in, you are forced to attend. You can combine this with EA (not SCEA) but you cannot apply ED to two or more schools.</p>
<p>EA - Early Action. This is just the same as regular decision, except it's early. You can apply EA to as many schools as you want.</p>
<p>SCEA - Single Choice Early Action. You only can apply to that school early. You may not apply to any other schools with EA, ED or SCEA until the regular decision round.</p>
<p>it sure is, depending on the school type. If the school is Single Choice Early Action, then I don't think you can. CHECK THE SCHOOL's INDIVIDUAL GUIDELINES.</p>
<p>For example,</p>
<p>you could apply EA to North Carolina CH and ED to UPenn/Princeton/Columbia/Duke/Dartmouth/Cornell</p>
<p>Applying ED to one of those schools would violate their ED contracts, so I don't think you'd be able to do that Reeze.</p>
<p>rikataka, i did it. and I asked the schools... it's legal</p>
<p>rikataka
you can ea as many schools as you want
you can only ED one and if you decide not to go to your ED school you pay first year or something</p>
<p>the answer is definitely yes for the standard ED, with the possible exception of "single choice", and the only "single choice" school I know of is Wake Forest. If you are accepted to both, you must decline the EA, as ED is binding. Your contractual commitment for ED requires a withdrawal of all applications within a certain time period.</p>
<p>Yes it is possible, in fact I did it. As long as the EA is not "single choice," you are fine.</p>
<p>Actually, that's not quite true. All EA schools will allow you to apply ED elsewhere. However, not all ED schools will allow you to apply EA elsewhere. I believe Brown and Princeton ED (and some others) will not allow you to apply EA. You'll have to check the policies of the ED school you're considering.</p>
<p>"All EA schools will allow you to apply ED elsewhere."
Now I'm confused...wouldn't EASC prohibit that?</p>
<p>When I said EA, I was referring to the vast majority- Chicago, UNC, Georgetown, Notre Dame, MIT, etc. </p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, and Stanford will not allow you to apply ED, but they're SCEA, which I consider a different category.</p>

<p>From what I understand, this is incorrect. Princeton's website says that, "Early Decision applicants may not apply under Early Decision or Early Action plans at any other college or university (but may submit Regular Decision applications elsewhere)."</p>
<p>fyi - N</p>
<p>Georgetown is EA, but will not allow you to apply EA if you apply binding ED somewhere else.</p>
<p>"Georgetown's Early Action program is grounded in the belief that students should be free to choose among colleges until the Candidate's Reply Date. Accordingly, accepted students will have the same reply date (May 1) as all candidates.</p>
<p>In keeping with this principle, students applying under the Early Action program may not apply at the same time to binding Early Decision programs since they then would not be free to choose Georgetown if admitted. Students are welcome to apply to other Early Action programs or other Regular Decision programs while at the same time applying to Georgetown's Early Action program."</p>
<p>I have a question that relates to the SCEA, EA, etc. If we apply SCEA, can we apply to a public school with a filing period ONLY during November, and a public school that starts acceptances at October? Public school, meaning that, they have no EA or RD rounds, etc.</p>
<p>Yes, with SCEA you can apply to state schools with rolling admissions. I've known people who've done it.</p>
<p>By state, you also mean OOS schools, right? Thanks.</p>
<p>I think it's ok if you turn in the rolling apps before turning in the SCEA application, but I'm not entirely sure.</p>
