<p>“Single-Choice Early Action
Candidates who are admitted early need not respond to the offer of admission until May 1, and may apply Regular Decision to other schools. The Yale plan is unlike standard Early Action programs in that candidates may not apply Early Action or Early Decision to any other school if applying early to Yale. (Put another way, students who are candidates for another college’s Early Action or Early Decision program may not apply for Single-Choice Early Action at Yale.) Candidates receive their decisions in mid-December. If you apply early to Yale, you will be asked to sign the Single-Choice Early Action Agreement stating that you intend to file only the one Yale early application. Single-Choice Early Action candidates are evaluated in the same way as are those who apply Regular Decision.”
