<p>There is already a giant list of EA Colleges stickied on this forum you know...but ok</p>
<p>Other Top School EA'ers:
- University of Illinois At Urbana Champlain
- Babson College
- Case Western University
- University of Notre Dame</p>
<p>is it possible to apply both ED and EA to different schools? sry if this has been asked wayy too many times already :]</p>
<p>EA- University of Chicago</p>
<p>Yes, you can do it like that with 1 ED and dozens of EA with all schools EXCEPT Georgetown.</p>
<p>@ symphonyofs0und</p>
<p>Probably not. You'd have to check with the EA college, but I know that at least some say that you can't apply EA if you're already applying ED somewhere else.</p>
<p>alright thanks...and also, if you get rejected by the EA pool do they put u in the RD pool and give u a second chance?</p>
<p>Unless your application is extremely poor, I believe almost all colleges will also consider you as part of the RD pool if you're deferred EA. If your application is in no way competitive in their normal applicant pool, some schools flat-out reject you and you cannot be considered RD.</p>
<p>Some people don't apply EA because some schools say that EA is more competitive than RD, or they think they can benefit by showing some of their senior year grades when applying.</p>
<p>i'm not applying anywhere early cuz i wanna make my first semester grade look REALLL nice (cuz i got a couple B+s in junior year...) hope this can change college admission ppl's minds! ... yea that's my reason</p>
<p>Tunit, you may as well apply EA because if you get deferred and then you send them your midyear grades they might accept you (if they haven't already accepted you)... there's really no harm in EA. I don't think a few B+s would be the difference between deferral and rejection.</p>
<p>Though I think at some college I visited (I think it was either UChicago or Columbia, but I don't remember) the admissions rep answered that they don't defer, but I may have misunderstood or misheard; I'm pretty sure both schools defer...</p>
<p>are you allowed to apply to multiple EA schools while still applying to one ED school? note i would withdraw my EA applications upon acceptance to my ED</p>
<p>it depends on whether it's restrictive early action or not, depending on the school's policy for early action. If it is restrictive early action, you can only apply early action to one school. If it is unrestricted, you can apply to as many early action schools as you want. If you're applying to 1 early decision as well, it depends on the school's policy as well.</p>
<p>also depends on the school. Georgetown and Boston College will not accept an EA app if you have applied ED somewhere else.</p>
<p>several reasons</p>
<ol>
<li>School only has ED</li>
<li>School has REA</li>
<li>Their applied ED to their 1st choice, and their 2nd choice only has ED. Applying EA to the 3rd or 4th choice won't allow them to know the decision on their 2nd choice.</li>
<li>Afraid that they will not know what to do if they are deferred from 1st choice and accepted to 2nd/3rd.</li>
<li>Too early. Either they need more time to get their grades up, write an essay, win a competition, or maybe their teacher can't write them a rec until the middle of November.</li>
</ol>
<p>University of Chicago has a non-restrictive EA, meaning that it's okay by them (as long as it's okay with the other schools in consideration) if you apply ED or apply to other schools EA.</p>
<p>Colorado College offers both ED AND EA. Pretty sweet, I think.</p>
<p>A lot of lesser-known schools do EA... ones that come to mind include SUNY-Binghamton, Simmons College (a women's college in Boston) and Iona College (a catholic LAC). Check out some of your safeties or supersafeties... they might offer it.</p>
<p>Wait so is that true that most people get deferred to RD if they don't make it in EA? I don't know if my application would be as strong as if I waited until RD but if there's no harm in sending it in EA I may as well...</p>
<p>Is there a list somewhere on these forums of the schools that offer EA but do not allow you to ED somewhere else?</p>
<p>From reading this thread, I only know of two that do this: Georgetown and Boston College.</p>
<p>What IS scea?</p>
<p>single choice early action....</p>
<p>Thank you! But how is that different from EA and ED?</p>
