<p>Hanana, that’s not how it works. Stanford has “single choice early action”, which means if you decide to apply to Stanford for early action, you can’t also apply <em>early action</em> elsewhere. It’s non-binding, however, so even if you are admitted EA, you can always apply regular decision elsewhere, and you have till May 1 to make your choice. It’s really a great option for highly qualified applicants. Yale has the same kind of early action option.</p>
<p>Best of luck to all!</p>
