Early Action/Decision Question

<p>I'm trying to get into direct-entry pharmacy schools (the ones that take you straight out of high school) and I've seen that many of them offer EA. Is it ethical to apply to more than one EA? I mean, I have 2-3 schools that I would just love to go to if I can get in and if they'd offer a decent financial package and though I can rank them 1,2 and 3, I'd still attend the one that offers me the best financial aid. </p>

<p>Is it alright if I apply EA to all three or should I just apply to one?</p>

<p>Also, I've always wondered, if accepted ED, you have to attend the school and withdraw all your other college apps, right? What happens if you don't? Do you get blacklisted from schools or something?</p>

<p>if the schools that you're interested in all have ea (and not ed) then it is perfectly fine to apply to them all ea (unless they specify single choice ea) because ea is not binding.</p>

<p>yes, if you're accepted ed you MUST ttend that school. if you withdraw, they will most likely tell the other colleges and your other admissions could get rescinded. don't apply ed to a school unless you are sure you want to go there; you're signing a contract.</p>

<p>yeah, you're signing a contract, but contracts are nulled unless you're 18 lol. so technically, you can get out of it, but theyll still report to other schools that you withdrew from a binding early decision "contract." so your hopes of getting into other schools won't look too sharp. as far as early action goes, apply to as many as you want, except harvard and yale, which are early action, but you can only apply to that school...funky</p>

<p>Haha, so it's like an ED really, in EA disguise.</p>

<p>If you are admitted ED, you must attend unless you can prove that you can't afford it. The only way to get out is because of issues with financial aid not being sufficient. If you try to get out of it and apply to schools any other way, you will be sorry. Colleges notify other admissions offices if you do not abide by the terms of the contract and you will be rejected everywhere. It's an ethical issue.</p>
