ED to multiple schools?

Hey, I'm a junior and I've been starting to think about the college application process. Is it possible to apply for early decision to more than one college? Is that allowed, or is there some sort of rule against it?

Early Decision (ED) is a binding application process, which means that if you are accepted to a college through ED, you commit to attending that institution and must withdraw all other college applications. Because of this binding agreement, you are only allowed to apply to one college through Early Decision.

However, you can still apply to other colleges through non-binding application processes such as Early Action (EA), Regular Decision (RD), or Rolling Admissions while applying to one school via Early Decision. Early Action is similar to Early Decision in that you apply earlier and receive decisions earlier, but if you're admitted under EA, you are not obligated to attend and have until the national decision day (May 1st) to make your final choice.

In summary, while you cannot apply to multiple colleges through Early Decision, you can apply to additional schools via other application processes. Make sure to carefully consider your options and only apply ED if you're absolutely sure that the school is your top choice and you're comfortable with the financial commitment. Good luck with your college applications!
