<p>So if I apply ED to an Ivy, what are the best schools that I can also apply to either at the same time or previously? I know that Michigan gives out some decisions in October and November. Can I apply to MIT early action in addition to my ED? I just want to apply to two or three other schools early action or rolling. What are the best schools that will let me do that?</p>
<p>ED is an admission strategy. But not everyone who applies to their “absolute top first-choice school” gets accepted. So I think it makes sense to have an Early Action/Rolling school as a backup if you want to get an alternate early acceptance.</p>
<p>Some schools do not allow their ED applicants to also apply EA anywhere else.</p>
<p>Brown for instance states:
</p>
<p>^^^^</p>
<p>…like SCEA at Yale and Stanford, correct?</p>
<p>SCEA schools are by definition single choice. Can’t apply to another ED or EA school.</p>
<p>So does anyone know about Chicago, MIT, and Georgetown?</p>
<p>They don’t care where else you apply. It is the ED school that may put restrictions on EA applications not the other way around.</p>
<p>Georgetown does not allow EA applicants to apply ED elsewhere.</p>
<p>[Georgetown</a> University- First Year Early Action Admission Program](<a href=“http://uadmissions.georgetown.edu/applying_firstyear_earlyaction.cfm]Georgetown”>http://uadmissions.georgetown.edu/applying_firstyear_earlyaction.cfm)</p>
<p>MIT, Caltech, and Chicago allow EA/ED combinations. Columbia ED/Chicago EA is reasonably popular.</p>
<p>^ Thanks a lot. I’m gonna write essays for Chicago, MIT, and Michigan next month.</p>
<p>Does Penn ED allow EA/ED combinations?</p>
