Do Ivies share applicant info?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>yes. do ivies share applicant info, like a list of applicants?</p>

2

<p>Don't game the system. You'll game yourself right into trouble if you were thinking about breaking the ED contract etc.</p>

3

<p>Listen, don't even THINK about it...</p>

4

<p>List of applicants? No.
List of students admitted ED? Yes.
Once admitted Somewhere ED, the Ivies consider your application to them withdrawn. That is why they share the lists.</p>

5

<p>what about EA?</p>

6

<p>You'll be knocked off any ED list if you apply somewhere EA, period.</p>

<p>Do not go there, period.</p>

7

<p>do the share financial aid info? if i apply aid to one but not the other.. will it matter?</p>

8

<p>no, you are within your rights to apply for financial aid to a needblind college, and not to one that isn't. </p>

<p>and to respond to the original OP, both the EA and ED college will rescind any admission offer if they find you have been dishonest.</p>

9

<p>Not sure what current practices are, but anyone interested in the question of financial aid info sharing might want to take a look at US v. Brown University, a fairly well-known antitrust case from the 90's.</p>

<p>OP doesnt need to play around. This guy has 2400 on his SAT and some neat stuff. But who knows...</p>

11

<p>You'll be knocked off any ED list if you apply somewhere EA, period.</p>

<p>Do not go there, period.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>false. you CAN apply somewhere ED and EA at the same time. It's just that:
1. If you get ED, you have to go there
2. Neither is restrictive ED/EA</p>

12

<p>It's not false, it's partially false. Some ED colleges permit you to apply EA elsewhere while others don't, and ED and SC/REA are exclusive.</p>

13

<p>ok from what i gather, they aren't allowed to share applicant lists (wouldn't that violate Sharman Anti-Trust, cus they are basically forming a cartel in terms of admission if they share info) but they DO share accepted students list to make sure they aren't double-crossed.</p>

<p>am i right?</p>

14

<p>^ yes ... and they can NOT share their financial aid offers either (same constraint of trade problem)</p>
