<p>As far as mit doesn't offer EA to int students I decided to try my EA chances at YALE.I know resrictive EA means school you applying is your first choice so can it effect my mit chance in any way?I don't want MIT to think MIT is my second choice(its not!)?</p>
<p>They won’t know you applied EA Yale unless you tell them…</p>
<p>but yale mentioned they are exchanging app names with someschools to make sure you don’t make double restirictive ea</p>
<p>MIT doesn’t have Early Decision anyway.</p>
<p>Besides, I don’t think it’ll affect chances in the sense that it’s not your first choice so you’re not serious about going there.</p>
<p>kemcab - MIT still has Early Action. This person is applying to Yale Early Action as well, but it’s restrictive - not the same as early decision.</p>
<p>OP - Personally, I don’t think this is something to worry about :)</p>
<p>One of the tenets of SCEA is that the applicant doesn’t apply elsewhere “early” (SCEA, ED, or EA). Schools do sometimes share lists of students accepted under the Early programs. So, one can “game” the system, but at some risk; I’ve heard of one student who was accepted early at Yale, and then the acceptance was rescinded (no reason was given, but the student did apply EA to two other schools).</p>
<p>For the record, I wasn’t encouraging the OP to apply EA to Yale and MIT - s/he mentioned that as an international, it wasn’t possible to apply EA to MIT anyway. I just don’t think it’s worth worrying about, applying EA to Yale.</p>
<p>Don’t apply SCEA and another EA - sometimes, both schools will rescind admissions for this.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I forgot about that. That’s a bit of a problem, though, regardless of whether the commitment is binding.</p>
<p>thank for all replies, they were helpful</p>
