<p>The current Y website under SCEA FAQs looks slightly different from what wjb gives, but still looks like you can apply to your in state public OR any rolling public:</p>

Q. I am applying to Yale under the Single Choice Early Action program. Can you explain the rules about applying to other colleges under their various early notification programs?</p>
<p>A. If you are an applicant to Yale under the Single Choice Early Action program, you may also apply to another institutions early admissions program under the following conditions:</p>
<pre><code>1. You may apply to a public institution in your home state, even if you will receive an admissions decision prior to January 1. (That decision must be non-binding, meaning that you have until May 1 to respond.)
You may apply to a public university’s “rolling” admission program if the program is non-binding.
You may apply to a college with an early deadline for scholarship awards, but only if the notification of admission occurs after January 1.
Finally, you may apply to another college’s “Round 2 Early Decision” program, but only if notification is after January 1. If you are admitted through another college’s “Round 2 Early Decision” program, you must withdraw your application from Yale.

<p>As far as the UMichigan exception, they may be making that distinction because a few years ago UM switched from a regular rolling to what they call “early response”, which has deadlines for submitting but is still non-binding and gives decisions on a rolling basis.</p>
