<p>I know of a kid who applied to all of these schools early and got in. Now I'm pretty sure that even if he only applied to Yale and MIT, then he could at least might be able to work something out between them, since they are non-binding. However, with Cornell involved, I'm almost certain that it is binding and he has to matriculate there. So, I was wondering, if he didn't necessarily want to go to Cornell, what could they do. Could Cornell contact MIT or Yale to suggest that they rescind his acceptances? Oh and this person also applied to Harvard and Princeton regular decision. I don't know if this would affect the Harvard and Princeton applications but idk.</p>
<p>I thought Yale has single choice EA option????</p>
<p>If he can't even read the rules, how did he get accepted to all those!</p>
<p>He'll probobly be rescinded regardless of wether he matriculates at cornell. Chances are cornell and yale will figure it out on their own (they claim to have stoped "talking" to each other but i doubt it.</p>
<p>erm this guy is screwed... yale is SINGLE-CHOICE EA and cornell is ED</p>
<p>well this person's chances for MIT and yale and cornell are over. Sadly, he probably still has a chance or harvard or princeton.</p>
<p>Yale is SCEA-SINGLE CHOICE Early Action. You are not allowed to apply to any other ED/EA schools. The student may find all of these acceptances rescinded. How did the high school counselor certify the SCEA letter? Makes no sense at all.</p>

</p>
<p>But you can apply to a non-binding EA school, so his MIT acceptance might not be rescinded.</p>
<p>An application to MIT in the early round is inconsistent with Yale's rules.</p>
<p>^And therefore inconsistent with MIT's rules -- MIT allows applications to other schools which also allow simultaneous early applications. Applying to MIT and an SCEA school would be a violation of MIT's rules.</p>
<p><em>head explodes</em></p>
<p>The "I know of a kid" reports are always a little suspect. I doubt this happened- probably someone who doesn't know what they are talking about (the "kid", not the OP) trying to impress someone.</p>
<p>This hypothetical person is in deep trouble. He and the school will be blacklisted and he is an idiot.</p>
<p>This really did happen. The kid did the essays but his dad filled out and sent the application. His dad told my dad that he was aware of the rules but did not think that it was that serious, so he applied to three anyway.</p>
<p>opus- the thing is, you don't just "apply". Your high school has to send the transcripts and recs and the school knows what the EA/ED agreement is. I doubt this happened.</p>
<p>In the agreements that u sign for SCEA or ED your school counselor has to sign it as well. I can't see a counselor signing multiple...and if they did......that reflects really badly on the school</p>
<p>you cna only choose EA on one school, Why didn't he read the rules before applying? and what about the counselor? Sounds odd.</p>
<p>And this is why CC should institute the "pics or it didn't happen" rule.</p>
<p>I know it sounds ridiculous but it really did happen. Not every school regularly sends kids to top schools so his schools counselors were probably not aware of the rules. When I asked the kid if he applied early decision or early action to all those schools, he didn't even know the difference between the two. And like I said before, the kid's dad filled out the application and sent it in, ignoring the agreement. So with the dad's negligence and the schools naivete this very thing did actually happen. Why would I spend this amount of time for some fabricated lie.</p>
<p>Looks like this person is going to State University if he's lucky! :)</p>
