Waitttttt did Stanford change their SCEA policy?

<p>I could of sworn it used to say you could only apply early action to another public school in YOUR state, but now (or always said, maybe I was reading it wrong) it says.</p>

<p>The student may apply to any college/university with early deadlines for scholarships or special academic programs as long as the decision is non-binding.
The student may apply to any public college/university.
The student may apply to any college/university with a non-binding rolling admission process.
The student may apply to any foreign college/university on any application schedule.</p>

<p>I wanted to apply EA to UNC, so I was gonna give up on Stanford SCEA, but now I can apply to both? I'm out of state for UNC.</p>

<p>Sounds like it. The first one is related to USC having a scholarship deadline of December 1 that they were preventing people from applying to supposedly. </p>

<p>They had always allowed applications in state for rolling admission to public colleges.</p>

<p>You were confusing Stanford and Yale. Yale’s policy is only your home-state public universities. Stanford is (and has been as long as I have been paying attention, which isn’t that long) any public university.</p>

<p>JHS - Yale does have a loop hole.</p>

<p>You may apply to any college’s non-binding rolling admission program.
You may apply to any public institution in your home state at any time provided that admission is non-binding. </p>

<p>Most public colleges have rolling admissions.</p>

<p>Thanks JHS! Thats great news for me.</p>

<p>They definitely changed their policy. I remember scrutinizing whether or not I could apply early to both my state flagship university and Stanford, and it just said ‘public institution in your home state’</p>

<p>Agree that this is a change. When I applied to Stanford, I also applied early to UNC as well because it was a public school in my state.</p>
