<p>It depends on the policies of each school. For example, Georgetown also has an EA option but it explicitly states that candidates can not apply to both Georgetown EA and ED/SCEA to another school. The U Chicago site says that candidates can apply to Chicago EA and ANY other school by November 1st, so it seems like their EA policy differs from that of Georgetown’s. Single Choice Early Action schools don’t give you a choice, you have to wait until December to apply to any other colleges. As for ED schools, my guess is that they also vary in terms of where else candidates can apply to. I now know that Columbia, for example, allows you to apply ED there and EA to other schools as long as you withdraw your others applications if you’re accepted into Columbia. I STRONGLY recommend that you get in direct contact with the admissions offices of all the schools you’re considering in order to be completely clear as to what you can do. An excellent way to start would be by asking our resident admissions counselor about U Chicago’s EA policy: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/1181310-uchicago-questions-ask-admissions-counselor-82.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/1181310-uchicago-questions-ask-admissions-counselor-82.html</a>.</p>
