<p>Does it affect your chances at the ED schools you are applying to if they see that you are ED for another school at the same time?</p>
<p>Um…you can’t do that. You’d be black-balled from every college.</p>
<p>So yes, it affects your chances!</p>
<p>By definition, ED means that you are applying to only one ED school at a time because it is binding (excluding financial reasons). It is possible to do ED 1 and one school, get rejected or deferred and apply for ED 2 somewhere else. It is also possible to apply for rolling and early action (as long as it isn’t single choice early action) as well as ED.</p>
<p>wow student01… wow.</p>
<p>I know that Furman has a non-binding ED option which I would assume means that you could apply there ED and another school ED. However, if accepted to both, the other school would be binding meaning that you would have to drop Furman. I don’t know if there are any other schools that offer a non-binding ED option but there may be some.</p>
<p>To answer your original question, I will echo the other posts which is you can’t apply binding ED to more than one school.</p>
<p>^^^^ </p>
<p>Non-binding ED tends to be called Early Action (EA), and there are many schools that have it. </p>
<p>But yes, as others have said, you can only ED at one school.</p>
<p>I know, it was odd that Furman calls it ED but they do not offer an EA option. Their ED is very similar to most EA options except that you receive notification within 30 days. You than have 30 days to make a decision and if the decision is yes, that decision is binding. It is interesting way to handle ED but I am not quite sure how Furman benefits.</p>
