<p>I know Early Action isn't THAT common among the top schools, but can you guys list some that do offer it? (LAC or Research) I simply can't afford to do Early Decision because of financial issues =/. Thanks for the help</p>
<p>This website lists ED/EA programs for colleges:
<a href="http://www.nacac.com/earlyadmission.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.nacac.com/earlyadmission.html</a></p>
<p>I know for a fact that Boston College has it and I'm pretty sure Cornell does too.</p>
<p>UMass baby</p>
<p>Cornell only has ED. im like, 99.9% positive</p>
<p>that might be only for the engineering school though. I'm not really familiar with the general school.</p>
<p>Cornell has ED. Friend is doing ED to the arts and sciences, so I know. </p>
<p>Chicago, HYS, MIT, Caltech, BC, Georgetown, and UNC have EA. Mich has rolling. Rice has intrim decision where you hear in March. Most schools will not use EA because it makes the school a safety. Find out your in Chicago in December, Apply to the 9 schools ranked ahead of it in USNWR because you are already in a top school. </p>
<p>There must be a LAC with EA...</p>
<p>UChicago
MIT
Georgetown (Restricted)
Stanford (Single Choice)
Boston College (Restricted)</p>
<p>Did I miss any?</p>
<p>"Find out your in Chicago in December, Apply to the 9 schools ranked ahead of it in USNWR because you are already in a top school."</p>
<p>It saddens me to see a statement like this, even if it is made in jest because it is clearly in the back of people's minds. When did USNWR change from a very minor consideration to take into account to adhered to like gospel? Places like UChicago, Dartmouth, Stanford, MIT couldn't be more different from each other. </p>
<p>As far as I know no LAC has EA. By definition, EA somewhat requires a reasonably sized class in order to combat its potential unknown effects.</p>
<p>Notre Dame also offers EA.</p>
<p>Case Western Reserve EA.</p>

Several LACs have EA, as one can see by actually looking at entomom's post. Almost all of the colleges listed thus far are included in that link. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Notre dame fer sure... bc.. usd..</p>
<p>Read the fine print!!!!</p>
<p>BC's EA will not allow you to apply ED to another school. applying to other EAs is fine. This is a big change from last year.</p>
<p>Notre Dame's EA is supposedly only if you have a ranking very high in your class and over 1400 on the SATs. I think they urge you to RD if this is not the case.</p>
<p>According to that web site, EA:</p>
<p>Boston College
California Institute of Technology
Case Western Reserve University
Fairfield University
Georgetown University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Northeastern University
Providence College
University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill
University of Notre Dame
University of Vermont
Villanova University</p>
<p>Stanford University SCEA
Yale University SCEA</p>
<p>Harvard University EA-SC unless to non-binding public</p>
<p>BTW Cornell College has EA, Cornell University has ED.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. If you wont mind clarifying, whats the diff btw Cornell College and University? Also, what's the diff btw single choice and restricted?</p>
<p>Cornell College is in Iowa, Lib. Arts, third tier school.</p>
<p>Rice calls theirs "Interim Decision", but it is an early action program</p>
<p>Rice's is different, though, because the application deadline is December 1st and the notification date is in February, I think. But yes, it's essentially a later early action.</p>
