applying to 2 ED schools...

Applying to College
1

<p>I was wondering what the implications could be if I applied to 2 ED schools? I know that there is an ED contract and everything, but my chances of getting into both schools are really low, and I really want a higher chance of getting into one of them. One of the school uses the common app, and the other school doesn't. Both are top schools in the nation.</p>

<p>This is not ethically right, but I can't seem to figure out why it may be wrong to apply to both schools ED. Will I go to jail if I do? Fined? How will the schools ever find out? Sorry if I sound naïve but I'm just curious. </p>

<p>Gotta grab some popcorn…</p>

<p><em>sigh</em></p>

<p>I’m really curious D: I’m sure there are people who do this out there? especially if schools have low admit rates and your chances of getting into both is 0.1%? </p>

<p>If your GC is worth her/his salt: the moment you ask for 2 ED packages (transcripts, school reports), you’ll get whacked. And they won’t be complicit. It’s utter selfishness – b/c if you do this and get found out, your HS will get blackballed and rightfully so.</p>

<p>I REALLY hope you fail at your plan if you do so.</p>

<p>I would say dont do it lol </p>

<p>If the GC helps you to apply to 2 ED schools, he/she is jeopardizing the future admission of students from your school. Also, you cannot do that if both schools are on CommonApp.</p>

<p>@T26E4 ooo lol both my GC and I are pretty clueless in terms of school admissions. She has not even heard of the commonapp until I told her about it. I just didn’t know that they would be asked for 2 packages or something… plus I would never dare do it because of all the moral implications… haha</p>

<p>ok I see now. thanks for enlightening me!</p>

<p>A GC who never heard of Common Application? Does she live under a rock?</p>

<p>Why don’t you apply to one EA and one ED if you are nervous?</p>

11

<p>There is so much that could go down if you tried ED at 2 schools.</p>

<p>Don’t do it lol.</p>

<p>@viphan‌ I’m an international student - most people from my school don’t apply to US univerisites - I’m one of the 5 this year :P</p>

<p>@DrGoogle‌ I don’t think you can do that? I’ve checked and some EA schools stated that you can’t apply to other ED schools.</p>

13

<p>@nervousfreshie‌ perhaps you were looking at SCEA schools? You can at most EA schools, unless they are SCEA.</p>

<p>According to the OP’s posting history, he is a clueless Canadian. He posted that with a 1970 SAT UCLA and UC Berkeley are his safeties and Northwestern is a match. </p>

15

<p>lol…</p>

16

<p>^^drgoogle and guineagirl - Schools such as Georgetown and BC do not allow you to apply EA if you have applied ED to another school.</p>

17

<p>Those are not the only 2 schools for EA. There are other schools.</p>

18

<p>Canadians are so nice that there’s no such thing as a rejection over there. Sadly, it’s insanely competitive here in America :(!</p>

19

<p>I checked BC for EA and its website states you can apply EA and EA to other college, just not EA and ED, but it’s ok to have EDII and EA.

</p>

<p>Here is for Georgetown, you can apply EA to Georgetown and apply EA to another program.

But Georgetown and BC don’t offer any advantage to apply early.</p>
