Applying to more than one EA?

<p>I know this will sound stupid, but I recently spoke with some friends who said that it's better to apply to just one school EA because it shows them that they really are your first choice. I want to apply to both MIT and Caltech EA, but I don't really have a FIRST choice school. Both schools are great, have unique nerd cultures, etc. </p>

<p>Do schools crosscheck students to see where they applied? Will applying to both Caltech and MIT hurt me?</p>

<p>Apply to both EA. They don't check whether you apply to the other, and it won't matter anyway. Quite a few people do this every year.</p>
