Can any bad come out of applying EA?

<p>BC is my number one and I’m applying EA, i have a decent shot of getting in.</p>

<p>what happens if i do not get in EA? can i still apply RD? or is their some category where they just flat out reject you and you cannot re-apply?</p>

<p>A) EA is more competitive than RD. If you don't feel confident with your credential, best apply in January where additional testing and/or high Senior GPA might boost your academic profile.</p>

<p>B) BC is not a demonstration of interest school, meaning it does not care how much you profess that it's your first choice; so applying EA to show that it's your first choice is an empty gesture.</p>

<p>C) EA has three outcomes: First, acceptance; Second, rejection--about a fifth get rejected; Third, deferment, which means BC will reveal your credential in January and see how you stack up against the RD pool, and for this there is no additional application.</p>

<p>im definitely still going to apply EA ( i know its an empty gesture), but i doubt im in the bottom 1/5 of applicants, thanks for clearing that up for me</p>
