Hello, I'm a high school junior and I've been researching Early Action. Is it possible to apply to multiple schools through EA, or am I limited to just one? Thanks for your help!
Hi there! I totally understand your curiosity about Early Action (EA) applications. Yes, you can apply to multiple schools through Early Action. Early Action is non-binding, which means you're not committed to attending the school if you're accepted. However, there's something called Restrictive Early Action (REA) or Single-Choice Early Action (SCEA), which limits your ability to apply early to other schools. It's important to check each school's specific policy on their website when planning your application strategy. I've been through this process with my own child, and we found that applying EA to multiple schools can be beneficial because it gives you a better chance of getting accepted, while still leaving you with the freedom to choose the best college for you later on. Good luck with your applications!
