<p>Well, I thought state EA might be different since 1) some states have notification dates that occur AFTER Yale’s, 2) many states are on a rolling admissions basis, so there isn’t a conclusive deadline, and 3) many states’ merit aid applications are due before Yale’s SCEA notification (for example, the local university I’m applying to has a Nov. 1 deadline for merit aid scholarships). </p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I remember reading or hearing that SCEA does not extend to these rolling admissions states programs. I think I’ll call the admissions office and ask anyway, though.</p>
