<p>Hi,</p>

<p>If one applies to Hopkins ED, can he or she apply to Georgetown and UChicago EA? I know its a pretty simple question but can one do this?</p>

<p>Yes to Chicago, no to Georgetown.</p>

<p>Every school has different policies about ED and EA, so you really need to do your research. I can not speak about policies for other schools, but Hopkins policy is pretty clear. </p>

<p>The Early Decision agreement is binding, so you may not apply to any other school under an early decision plan. You may still apply to other schools under a nonbinding early action plan, but can not apply under a single-choice early action plan.</p>

<p>Please be aware that if a student does not abide by the ED contract then they forfeit their admission to Johns Hopkins and will not be able to enroll at a later date. We strongly urge students not to apply Early Decision if there exists the possibility of later breaking the ED contract.</p>

<p>To be honest, applying ED to Hopkins is saying that it is your clear, absolute first choice. By wanting to apply early to another school, let alone two other schools, do you really have a clear, absolute first choice. The Admissions Committee at Hopkins does not appreciate students who try to “game” the system or our early decision process.</p>

<p>To AdmissionsDaniel:</p>

<p>JHU FAQs state "The Early Decision agreement is binding, so you may not apply to any other school under an early decision plan. (You may still apply to other schools under a nonbinding early action plan.) "</p>

<p>There is no reference to single-choice early action plan.</p>

<p>The definition of a single-choice early action plan is that a student can not apply to any other school early action or early decision. Therefore a student can not apply ED to Hopkins and single-choice early action to another school. You are breaking the other’s school single-choice early action contract.</p>

<p>To AdmissionsDaniel:</p>

<p>You are misinformed.
Your interpretation of SCEA (at least for MIT) is incorrect.
Your interpretation of ED for JHU is also incorrect.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure AdmissionsDaniel knows what he is talking about in regards to Hopkins considering he is an Admissions counselor there.</p>

</p>

<p>And I believe you are misinformed as MIT does not offer single-choice early action.</p>

<p>“I’m pretty sure AdmissionsDaniel knows what he is talking about in regards to Hopkins considering he is an Admissions counselor there”.</p>

<p>Correct. It was MY error.
Sorry AdmissionsDaniel!</p>

<p>OK. One last try … </p>

<p>The JHU ED policy does not reference single-choice early action plans. Our plan is a binding ED plan and we state that applicants may apply to nonbinding early action plans.</p>

<p>It is the policy of single-choice early action schools that do not allow students to apply ED to another school. I believe my previous post stated that quite clearly.</p>
