<p>Sorry to sound naive/stupid at the moment. I know Yale has a single choice EA policy and I know that I mean I can only apply EA to only Yale. But my question is, is this single choice EA only for the Ivies. Like if I apply EA to Yale I can't apply EA to P or H but can I apply EA to another school like NYU or etc.</p>
<p>Or is it like I can only choose one school, ivy or not. Hopefully you guys understand what I'm asking and could answer it. I feel as though the question is confusion :/</p>
<p>Ys EA policy applies to all colleges, Ivy or not, ED or EA. See the exceptions here:</p>
<p>[Single-Choice</a> Early Action for Freshman Applicants | Yale College Admissions](<a href=“http://admissions.yale.edu/scea]Single-Choice”>Single Choice Early Action for First-Year Applicants | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions)</p>
<p>The only exception is your in-state public school if it has an EA (and non binding) earlier admissions cycle. For instance, residents of Mich can apply both SCEA to Yale and to UMich’s early notification admissions cycle.</p>
<p>Wait, you can only apply EA to one college? I’ve read some posts where some people applied to 2-4 colleges EA and the rest through regular process? I don’t like this… :(</p>
<p>^That’s because Y (and a few others) are SCEA = SINGLE CHOICE EA.</p>
<p>This is different from places like MIT and UChicago which are simply EA, thus multiple EA applications.</p>
<p>You need to go to the websites of all schools you’re interested in and read all requirements/restrictions carefully. There is no one-size-fits-all for anything concerning college admissions, including early admissions programs.</p>
<p>This has been discussed repeatedly on CC. The best thing is to carefully review each school’s EA or SCEA policy. SCEA to Yale means you cannot apply to any other school’s Early Admission program by whatever name (ED or EA) except your in-state school Early program (usually early notification of your own state flagship university) as T264E2 explained.</p>
