UPenn Just Changed Their Early Decision Policy!

Here is their official policy:

Penn’s Early Decision program is binding, meaning that if you are admitted, you are obligated to accept our offer of admission. As you weigh your options to apply through Early Decision or Regular Decision, there are a few important policies and exceptions to consider.

You cannot simultaneously apply to Penn under the Early Decision program and another college/university under their early notification program, including Early Decision, Restrictive Early Action (also known as Single-Choice Early Action), or Early Action. There are limited exceptions:
You may apply to any public college/university that offers non-binding admissions.
You may apply to any foreign college/university.
You may apply to any college/university with non-binding early deadlines for scholarships.
Penn’s Early Decision program supersedes any other early notifications. If you are admitted to Penn, then you are expected to enroll.
An applicant’s affiliation with Penn, either by being children or grandchildren of alumni, is given the most consideration through Early Decision.
Although applicants considering applying through Early Decision must submit their applications earlier (November 1st) than Regular Decision applicants (January 5th), the process of applying is no different. Please refer to the Checklists & Deadlines page for more information.
