HARVARD: Should I do SCEA or RD?

<p>Strat: I admit that Harvard does a poor job of explaining all this on their website, but they are SCEA. After reading the below sources, if you still have doubts, call the Admissions Office and ask them yourself. The phone number is 617-495-1551.</p>

<p>Paragraph 5:</p>

<p>“As in the past, students can apply under the single-choice, early-action program by Nov. 1 and will be notified by Dec. 15, at which point students completing financial aid applications will receive notice of their awards.”</p>

<p>Paragraph 10:</p>

<p>“Few colleges — Stanford and Yale among them — offer the kind of single-choice, nonbinding early-action program that Harvard and Princeton will use, in which students may apply early to only one college.”</p>

<p>The disclaimer at the top of the page directly under Single choice Early Action.</p>

<p>“Students applying to Harvard under the Early Action program are not permitted to apply early elsewhere in the fall under Single Choice Early Action, Early Action or Early Decision programs. Harvard will withdraw any offer of admission to a student who does so.”</p>
