is yale scea?
meaning, is it restrictive?

would it be a bad idea to apply early decision to brown and early action to yale?
do the schools actually communicate with each other?

JHS

Yes, it is SCEA.

Yes, it is restrictive.

Yes, it would be a terrible idea to apply simultaneously early decision to Brown and SCEA to Yale, especially since Brown (uniquely among ED colleges) asks ED applicants to certify that they have not applied anywhere else EA or ED, and of course applying ED to Brown violates the terms of Yale's EA program. So you would be breaking BOTH colleges' rules.

I don't know to what extent the schools actually communicate with each other. Probably not so much. However, all it would take would be one phone call to either from anyone who happened to know what you had done and was p.o.ed at it, and they would be communicating with each other plenty. If either of them had happened to accept you, you could kiss that goodbye.

But don't worry too much. If your Guidance Counselor has a shred of intelligence and integrity, he or she won't let your transcript or GC letter go to support early apps at both Brown and Yale. So even if you slip up and do it by accident, someone will probably stop you. All that will happen is that you will look like a dishonest jerk.

yes they communicate with each other and you will be absolutely hosed if they discover that you applied to both. That is a terrible idea. The sat report may even include the names ocschools to prevent such unethical behavior. Don't be stupid!
