About applying early action...

<p>I checked earlier posts about this topic, but I was wondering if this has changed in recent years...will colleges that you apply to RD know if you apply somewhere EA? Some of my friends believe they do, but I'm pretty sure they don't...things were said about the EA schools showing up on transcripts, is this common? My counselor said that this is not common at all.</p>

<p>And if for whatever reason an admission officer knows that you applied to a different school EA (not ED), will this in any way affect your admission decision?</p>
