<p>each other who they admitted (ED, EA, RD) and who is on their waitlists?</p>
<p>99 percent not. (the other 1 percent being a case where global secret conspiracy DOES exist) </p>
<p>The “Ivy League” is not a coalition of institutions. They are independent schools fighting amongst each other in the admissions process for the greatest possible yield. They will have no interest to share their admit lists.</p>
<p>Major risk of antitrust violations if they do that.</p>
<p>ya there’s no way. just curious why are you asking?</p>
<p>They share a list of ED acceptances, to uphold the contract.</p>
<p>The Ivy League <em>does</em> have formal and informal collaboration — they have shared athletic standards and enforce the ED agreement together.</p>

<p>“Major risk of antitrust violations if they do that.” Already happened!</p>
<p>Interesting!</p>
<p>I was trying to figure out some unusual admissions results: SCEA students rejected by all other ivy leagure schools.</p>
<p>they share ED, as someone said… but other than that i don’t know. schools will collaborate with eachother to make sure that someone isn’t applying early to more than one school and stuff, i’m fairly certain about that, but i don’t think they share waitlists, as they would have no (legitimate) reason to</p>
<p>While I am no expert, I would assume that they check EDs on an audit basis. Unless they have a computerized software which automatically checks if you have sent in a SCEA application to two places, I do not believe they would consistently check.</p>
<p>Actually, they do share a list of all ED acceptances.</p>
<p>Then each college goes through and checks to make sure none of the ED acceptances applied ED or EA to their college. If so, they notify both institutions and reject you from both.</p>
<p>Do they check everyone? I know that they share it… I guess they would… What if someone applies SCEA to both Yale and to Stanford?</p>
<p>Probably reject from both.</p>
<p>I’m not sure about Stanford, since it’s not part of the Ivy League and doesn’t have the same information sharing. But it’s best to be safe and not try to break the rules.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t, haha. I was curious as to how they go about enforcing the SCEA.</p>
<p>Antitrust violations - HA! If the justice department applied antitrust laws to the Ivies, they’d all be shut down tomorrow. They have an agreement for no merit scholarships and financial aid solely based upon need. That’s an agreement not to compete and an agreement to fix prices.</p>
<p>I don’t think you guys understand antitrust. For one thing, non-profit organizations aren’t <em>ever</em> investigated for antitrust violations.</p>
<p>Organizations are free to form partnerships and have common standards — that’s the only way many industries can function (ex. computers need to follow standard specs).</p>
<p>For reference, the justice department actually did investigate. They lost.</p>
