9 of the 315 Common Application members use a Restrictive Early
Action (REA) process. There are only three NACAC approved early
programs: ED, EA, and REA. Restrictive Early Action is an umbrella
term meant to cover any college with an EA program in which they've
added additional restrictions. "EA-single choice" is one flavor of REA, but
there are many others.
These are the 9 Common App REA members (though some also offer other
early programs as well):
-- Boston College - Restrictive Early Action Program permits candidates to apply to other Early Action programs, but not Early Decision programs
-- Georgetown University - Restrictive Early Action Program permits candidates to apply to other Early Action programs, but not Early Decision programs
-- Hampden-Sydney College
-- Hampshire College
-- Harvard College
-- Princeton University
-- Stanford University
-- Susquehanna University
-- University of San Diego
-- University of San Francisco
-- Wellesley College
-- Yale University
To find out what types of restrictions these colleges place on EA applicants,
please review their supplement forms available on the Common Application
website, or contact them directly.
