[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“You are wrong -- what you are describing is SINGLE CHOICE early action (HYPS).  Restricted Early Action just means that you cannot apply anywhere with a binding (ED) application.”

Nope. I definitely am not wrong. This is explained on Harvard’s website and in Common App. It’s extremely clear and direct.
I am looking directly at Harvard’s admissions page right now. It says REA means you may NOT apply early action to any other private college, restrictive or not. It is VERY clear. You may apply Early Action to a public or international college.

Those are the early rules for Harvard.  For Georgetown, MIT, and Notre Dame, students can apply early to any other school so long as they do not apply binding early decision, including private universities.

College counselors refer to the Harvard / HYPS rules as 'single choice early action' and the more flexible rules of MIT, ND, and Georgetown as 'Restrictive Early Action'. [/quote]
