Hi, I know that theoretically it isn’t allowed, but could I apply to Harvard EA and Princeton ED? Because I would prefer going to Princeton, but I have legacy at Harvard and think I have more chances there.
<p>uh...No...</p>
<p>no, princeton ed is binding and u cannot apply anywhere else ed or ea, harvard is SCEA which stands for single choice early action. what you could do is apply ea for harvard and then apply rd to princeton =P</p>
<p>unless you really want to go there, apply ED</p>
<p>actually seeing that you have alumni status at harvard, that might actually benefit u in ed (sry i skipped it over). HYP are always competing for students and if u applied rd to princeton and they saw ur father went to harvard might not work in ur favor but im not sure =P its ultimately ur choice on what to do</p>
<p>You can do it if it's an ED and an EA, or two EA's. I'm applying ED to GWU and EA to BC.</p>
<p>Are you sure about that? Can anyone confirm?</p>
<p>yes thats cuz gwu and bc arent single choice</p>
<p>princeton and harvard are single choice. u cant do both.</p>
<p>What other schools ARE NOT single-choice?</p>
<p>mit, chicago are two schools that are not single-choice.</p>
<p>OK guys thank you very much! I guess I<code>ll try Harvard even though my chances aren</code>t that great...</p>
<p>You can NOT do EA to Harvard AND ED to Princeton</p>
<p>You'd run the risk of getting rejected entirely by both when they found out, as you'd be violating the agreement that you submit when applying ED or SCEA</p>
<p>huh??
EA is completely non-binding so shouldn't there be no problem?
As long as only one school is ED it should be fine..?</p>
<p>Trout,
For Harvard, EA is single-choice. It is non-binding, but it is the ONLY place you can apply early to.</p>
<p>Princeton is ED and you are NOT allowed to apply EA anywhere else</p>
<p>The original poster wanted to do both</p>
