I am currently a high school senior looking to apply to Harvard for its SCEA option. I realize that it does not allow for other early admissions applications to other colleges. I have been receiving emails from several state schools detailing that I can apply with their “_____” admissions and receive a prompt decision and more FA. I wasn’t not sure if these special admissions processes would count as early admissions and thus violate the SCEA contract?
Generally speaking, early applications at state Us are not counted as violating SCEA or Early Decision contracts because those institutions offer everyone rolling admissions.
