<p>Excellent question. Does anyone know if Brown or Dartmouth do?</p>

@Dartmouth admissions

Students who apply to Dartmouth under the Early Decision Plan may initiate applications to other institutions, provided that none of the other applications is made under an Early Decision Plan. The obligation explicit in the Early Decision Plan, as described here and as defined by the National Association of College Admissions Counselors, is a commitment on the part of the candidate to withdraw any other applications and to initiate no new applications if accepted under an institution’s Early Decision Plan.

<p>I couldn't find out about Brown. I do know that Columbia allows EA but Princeton does not.</p>

<p>uchicago allows.</p>

<p>While most ED schools allow for you to apply EA to other schools, the EA schools do not allow for you to apply ED to other schools. Example: Georgetown</p>

[warblersrule]

<p>^^^^
Almost any EA school (like Chicago) will allow you to apply to other schools. It's the ED school's policies you have to look at.</p>

<p>I think HYS and Georgetown are exceptions.</p>

[banedon17]

<p>HYS are Single-Action, so ou can't apply ED if you applied ea at these places. Most schools are Non-Single Action. There's a list that tells which policy what schools follow, but I forgotten.</p>

[Kjoodles]

<p>You can do Cornell ED and Chicago EA together which is a popular mix.</p>

<p>Columbia allows you to apply EA???</p>

[Ebola]

<p>Yes. See this:</p>

@Columbia Application

According to National Association for College Admissions Counseling guidelines, “while pursuing admission under an Early Decision plan, students may apply to other institutions, but may have only one Early Decision application pending at any time.” While Columbia does not necessarily encourage the filing of both Early Decision (binding) and Early Action (non-binding) applications, we do not prohibit candidates from doing so. However, candidates should be aware that Columbia’s Early Decision program is a binding agreement and a candidate will be expected to enroll, regardless of any pending applications (early or otherwise).

<p>are you put at a disadvantage if a college say UVa (ED) finds out you're also applying to say UNC (EA)? Isn't the point of ED to show commitment to that school and utmost desire to attend? Will applying to both take away from that or any chance of admission?</p>

[Ebola]

<p>I doubt it. After all, there's always a chance you might be deferred or rejected. In that case, it'd be good to have another early school (although UNC is probably just as difficult). Anyway, I think UVa would be more concerned if you applied ED somewhere else!</p>
