<p>My D got lots of morality scoldings from kids and parents at her hs when she didn’t immediately accept Yale EA. These same kids were accepted early at USC, Georgetown and U Chicago. Guess what? They did not rescind their applications to the schools that had accepted them EA. They were waiting to hear from the Ivies they had applied to.</p>
<p>Sorry. There is ED, EA and SCEA. The rules are very clear. Acceptance EA or SCEA does not bind the applicant to accept. If that is the expecation of the school, then they should change their policy to ED.</p>
