<p>Is it possible to apply to more than 1 school ED? I've heard of some people doing this. How is it possible and could you get in trouble if you got caught? (And I don't mean EA, I actually mean ED).</p>
<p>not at the same time…</p>
<p>you can do EDI and EDII… or EDI and ED rolling…
but, you need to wait until your EDI decision is in (December) before you submit the EDII…</p>
<p>There was a discussion on CC last year whether or not one needs to wait until the EDI decision is in to submit the EDII since the notifications don’t overlap; can’t remember what the outcome of that thread was but I’m sure someone will chime in…</p>
<p>I do know that the common app will not permit two ED’s at the same time even if one is EDI and the other is EDII…</p>
<p>You can have only one ED application open at a time. ED2 is designed by colleges that have it to begin when ED 1 period ends with decisions in mid-December. Yes, there have been students who have applied ED to two schools for a mid-December decision with the idea of backing out of one while taking the other and you may have heard of some who have done that. It is more accurately called application fraud.</p>
<p>What happens if they get caught?</p>
<p>Doesn’t your GC and parent have to sign a form if you apply ED? Would they really both break the rules?</p>
<p>“What happens if they get caught?”</p>
<p>Those to which you applied ED will have the right to reject you or witdraw any admission given if they learn aftrerwards. Because it is application fraud, the college that you actually attend ED can act against whenever it learns the truth; for example, if it doesn’t learn that student applied multple EDs until the last week of your senior year of college, it can at that time kick you out of college with no degree and you will have no recourse.</p>
<p>There are a number of high schools that have systems to prevent it through counselors who assure the student is applying only to one school ED. Colleges also have the signature rules mentioned above. Thing is not all high schools have systems in place to prevent it and not all colleges with ED require all those signatures.</p>

</p>
<p>Oh, I thought all schools had them.</p>

<p>Hmm, I think that there might be a statue of limitation. I don’t think they can kick you out of college in your senior year because of a “mistake” that was made 4 years ago. Application fraud can be construed to almost anything if you let it. Suppose you weren’t really all state for 3 years, but all state for 2 years and an alternate for the 3rd year. Or that an applicant got their license suspended after they applied and didn’t inform the college, a college couldn’t retroactively expel them. That is MHO.</p>
