<p>Single Choice Early Action</p>

<p>Single-Choice Early Action, as bluescreen said. It means you apply early and are not allowed to apply early anywhere else. However, unlike early decision options, you are not obligated to attend if admitted. So essentially you’re turning in your application early and (probably) finding out your decision early in return.</p>

<p>It’s also called “restrictive early action” (or REA).</p>

4

<p>then is there something called as “only early action” whereby you are allowed to apply early elsewhere as well?</p>

5

<p>All this needed was a simple Google search.</p>

<p>

Well if the topic in question is called “restrictive early action” then naturally what you’re referring to is “non-restrictive early action”, no? :P</p>

<p>But umm, yes. Places like MIT, CalTech, U Chicago and others offer non-restrictive early action where you can apply to multiple places early.</p>

<p>*woot, first post.</p>

<p>Wait, but if i apply EA to Stanford, then I’m not allowed to apply EA to those unrestricted EA schools mentioned above?</p>

8

<p>Wait, so does this mean that if you apply to a different school early DECISION, you can’t apply to Stanford early ACTION? (Sorry, just double-checking lol.)</p>

<p>^Righto, sistah. ED is binding.</p>

<p>saints, any more info on this? I have a great state school that I was planning on EA but switched to RD because of Stanford’s policy. I’d love it if there was a loophole where I could apply to both schools early.</p>

<p>Saints is right, I believe.</p>
