Can you ED and EA together?

<p>Can you ED and EA together? Is it possible?</p>

<p>Most colleges have one or the other, and most colleges with EA don’t want you to apply EA if you’re applying ED to another school.</p>

<p>To two different schools? Of course. Your ED choice has no problem with your applying EA elsewhere, so long as you understand you ARE required to go to your ED choice if you are admitted.</p>

<p>and assuming that it’s not restrictive Early Action</p>

<p>Oh…but does SCEA have a problem…like…Yale/Stanford’s SCEA + another schools ED + another EA school…is that possible?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that Yale specifies you cannot apply to another school where you will receive your decision before January, but you might want to double-check on their website.</p>

<p>Assuming you are EDing a school, is it better to EA other schools or save the application fees by waiting for your ED decision then applying RD for other schools if the ED is rejected?</p>

<p>I think it’s kind of a personal preference…many people in my IB class are applying restrictive EA to the college they want to attend, and then RD to a state college with rolling admissions. I personally am applying ED to the college of my choice and EA to a safety, so that even if I get rejected from the college I want to attend, or deferred, I -should- also get accepted to my safety at around the same time.</p>

<p>Will colleges know if I ED to 2 colleges :D:D?</p>

<p>They’ll most likely find out that you did, and not only will both of their offers (if you were accepted) be revoked, but many other colleges will frown upon you because of it.</p>

<p>If you are applying ED, but want to find out whether you’d be accepted from other schools that offer EA, be sure to check those EA sites. Some are very specific about your options. Georgetown, for instance, will NOT allow EA if you sent ED elsewhere. It’s not listed as Single Choice, but it should be.</p>

<p>I know someone who submitted two deposits in May. Couldn’t decide. Turns out both schools found out and rejected her, flat-out.</p>
