<p>I don’t think most schools are SCEA at all. I think most are EA, no restrictions. I have no data to back this up, however, so I’ll just put that out there.</p>
<p>However, “EA” does not mean you can’t apply to other early programs; SCEA does, and ED can. That’s all I was saying. :)</p>
<p>There are also many, many more. A very large number of universities have some sort of early application process; some have ED, some have EA, some (a small number – I’m inclined to believe that ONLY Harvard, Yale and Stanford) have SCEA, some have ED I & II, some have EA & ED… and so on. So you’ll just have to search school by school. :P</p>
<p>Georgetown, Notre Dame, Cal Tech, MIT & Boston College are some of the better-known EA schools. From what I have heard, Georgetown does not like students who are applying ED someplace to apply EA to Georgetown at the same time. The SCEA schools obviously limit any other applications–the student applying SCEA can only apply to state universities with rolling admissions (and a few other special exceptions).</p>
<p>heh it would’ve been more strategic if he was applying EA everywhere (even to the single choice EA’s) since they’re all non-binding. but ED’s a different story.</p>
