<p>Is it worth it to apply to a school Early Action (if offered) just because of the higher admissions rate? </p>
<p>For example, I am applying Early Decision to Pomona but I am wondering whether I should as well apply EA to Georgetown if the application is done?</p>
<p>wait...you can apply ED to one school and EA to another? that would be great....</p>
<p>You can apply EA to 19023481 schools if you want even if you're applying ED anywhere.</p>
<p>Not sure about whether or not the higher admissions is true, but why not send it in if it's done?</p>
<p>You'll get your answer months early.</p>
<p>Better check on G-Town. I recall somewhere reading that you cannot apply EA there if you go ED somewhere else.</p>

In keeping with this principle, students applying under the Early Action program may not apply at the same time to binding Early Decision programs since they then would not be free to choose Georgetown if admitted. Students are welcome to apply to other Early Action programs or other Regular Decision programs while at the same time applying to Georgetown's Early Action program.

<p>The problem with this: they have no way in checking, and thus can't truly call you out on it. Unlike if it was ED to two schools, and you were accepted at both, you'd have to turn one of the two down.</p>
<p>Simple solution (morally wrong to some), apply ED somewhere and EA georgetown, and just don't tell them.</p>
<p>They may find out, and you'll be rejected from both. It's your risk.</p>
<p>When it comes to Georgetown, I thought that the EA acceptance rate was slighly lower than the RD acceptance rate.</p>
<p>wait...does EA help like ED does?</p>
<p>mm normally the "admit rates" are a bit higher.. but then again.. the pool itself is self-selective.. and yes for georgetown (at least georgetown college) the EA acceptance rate is slightly lower than the RD acceptance rate (18% v.s. 20% or something like that for the college.. not including sfs etc) which is really weird</p>
<p>Georgetown EA does not let you apply ED to another school, although you can apply EA to another school. Be very careful to check the school's website if you are thinking of applying EA or ED, because they are usually very clear about what you can and cannot do.</p>
<p>But Georgetown doesn't reject EA, they just accept and defer. So if you get deferred you still have another chance to get in given time. Why not apply EA? If you get in, you get in. If you get deferred, then oh well, at least its a deferral. I personally am applying to Cornell ED, and I want to apply to BC. But I'm not going to apply there EA (their policy is like Georgetown's) since they could find out. It's not worth the risk to do that anywhere in my mind, but that's me personally. I wouldn't lie to a school</p>
