Top Schools with Non-Restrictive EA

<p>Which of the nation's top schools have a non restrictive early action program?</p>

<p>I know MIT and U Chicago have it, whereas harvard doesn't.</p>

<p>If you'd search, you'd find plenty of threads that deal with this topic. :rolleyes: Here's a list of EA colleges. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/webex/earlyact_brief.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/webex/earlyact_brief.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>But there's single choice EA, at Stanford and Harvard, whereas U chi and MIt are not Single choice :)</p>

<p>Harvard, Stanford, and Yale have SCEA. All other EA schools are not restrictive. This also includes Rice, who calls its EA route "interim decision."</p>

<p>You've been given a list of schools that have EA. The list of single choice EA schools is going to be way shorter than the list of EA schools, so what are we talking about backing out a couple of schools (HY, Stanford and a few others). Learning how to do research is going to be a big part of your college career. People are not going to do this work for you. There is no time like the present to learn how it is done, especially when you are the one with the vested interest.</p>

<p>^ Geez, chill out! Either answer the question or ignore it, don't write an essay on why it shouldn't have been asked.....</p>

<p>Anyway, you should also look into Georgetown.</p>

<p>yeah technically, starting a thread on CC is doing work...you're searching for answers on the net. god, chill out :)</p>

<p>CalTech & Norte Dame</p>

<p>Georgetown does.</p>

<p>the thing with georgetown is that you cannot apply ED anywhere, which other schools like uchi allow you to</p>

<p>I think I've heard of people doing MIT/Caltech combos for EA.</p>

<p>The link in post #2 is no longer working. Does anyone have an updated link?</p>

<p>Boston College just changed to restricted where you can't do EA and ED at the same time.</p>

<p>Georgetown is restricted as well.</p>

<p>Uh guys, sybbie is one of the most knowledgeable people on CC, and at some point you may need her advice, so don't be so quick with the chill out. You do need to do research, and starting a thread does not qualify, sorry. the answers are not always going to be handed to you on a platter.</p>

<p>hey guys,
sorry for my ignorance but i am really not quite sure about EA, why do some ppl apply ED while some others apply EA?? What difference besides binding? which one is better?
any reply is appreciated.</p>

<p>This is a good question that many people are interested in, so by posting it we get to share info. It would be great if someone could find an update to that link. I have a chart from Princeton Review, but its about a year old, so all the info would have to be verified. I'm using it as a starting point though.</p>

<p>cissim86, let me direct you over to <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=223213%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=223213&lt;/a>. It has a pretty detailed guide to EA and ED.</p>

<p>OP, it'd probably be more useful for you to first narrow down your list of colleges, then worry about ED and EA because obviously you are not going to apply to ALL the top schools in the nation. Depending on your final list of schools, you can have many different ED/EA combinations.</p>
