Can I apply early action and early decision?

Hi guys, I'm a junior and planning my college applications for next year. I was wondering if it's possible to apply to one school with early action and another one with early decision at the same time. Will this cause any issues with the colleges I'm applying to? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Absolutely, you can apply to one college early decision (ED) and others through early action (EA) simultaneously, keeping in mind that early decision applications are binding. If you're admitted through ED, you're expected to withdraw all other college applications and commit to attend. Early action, on the other hand, is non-binding; you are not obligated to attend if accepted and can apply to multiple EA schools. Just be cautious of Single-Choice Early Action or Restrictive Early Action policies, which prohibit applying to other early programs. Always check the specific policies of each college to ensure you're complying with their rules. As an example, if you apply ED to College A and are accepted, you must withdraw any EA applications you might have, even though they are non-binding. Good luck with your applications!
