SCEA (used by HYPS) is single choice early action, which means that if you apply to one of the SCEA schools, you may not apply EA to any other domestic private university. You may apply to state school(s) or schools outside the US.
Thank You, this helps. I am just learning about these things to get myself familiar with as I have a sophomore now. But the whole process seems very demanding and stressful just reading through the post.
You should learn how to do your own research. You will find that you won't be able to just use other people's experiences because every child and everyone's situation is different. My older child is in college, but I will need a different approach with the younger one, because they are so different. And that is within one family.

I think that the key to minimizing stress is to find a few schools that aren't that difficult for your kid to get into, that you can afford, and that your kid loves. When even the worst-case scenario looks appealing, it's easier to keep th craziness at bay (somewhat)!

DS had a little rough patch starting his freshman year. He has adjusted now and LOVES his choice. He said he was just having trouble finding friends, and once that happened, everything else fell into place.

To the pp 15:06: Insteads of recent "deferrals" I assume you meant waitlist? It's a little late in the process for a deferral.

DC applied early decision, was notified that she'd been accepted in December, and we're done. SO much better than with older DC, for whom we had to wait until regular decisions.

My DD applied to 6 OOS publics and one private LAC and had all her results by February. She's made her choice and will attend orientation before FCPS's (extremely late) graduation.
