<p>I'm interested in doing engineering, but not deadset on a specific field.</p>

<p>I'm also interested in MIT and Brown.
Does anyone know if Cornell's ED program lets you apply to other places EA?
And how does applying for engineering work? I apply specifically to that college?</p>

<p>Thanks guys for reading this!</p>

<p>ED is binding - it is Early Decision - not EA - do not apply ED unless you are sure.</p>

3

<p>I know ED is binding, but does Cornell let you apply to other schools EA? If you got in, you'd withdraw them right away, of course, but does it restrict you from applying other places?</p>

4

<p>ahh...believe so. my s did ED at Cornell and rolling at a state u...years ago.</p>

<p>best to check the Cornell Admissions website to verify.</p>

5

<p>how come you don't consider yourself asian :D</p>

6

<p>It really doesn't matter whether he considers himself Asian or marks the box. The moment an admissions officer sees his Indian name, he will be lumped in the ORM category.</p>

7

<p>Yes you can apply to other schools ea if you apply to cornell ed, unless those other schools specifically forbid it.</p>
