Early Action Results Thread

<p>I'm going to have to look into this. I finished all my apps and sent them out around the same time. I did not intentionally apply early to Tufts (or Georgetown for that matter), but just used the general dates on BC's early application as a guide since I'm hoping to be considered for a Presidential Scholarship. So far, I have heard back only from these three schools. I'm going to make a few phone calls tomorrow and make sure I have not done anything wrong.</p>

<p>Tufts Early Decision in bindding therefore u can't apply to any other schools...</p>

<p>But Georgetown Early Action is nonbidding meaning that u cant apply to any other schools as long as its not Early Decision</p>

<p>rta = residential team advisor (for our project)
-i love both gtown and penn! it'll be a tough decision, if i get into penn that is</p>

<p>Though Gtown business is not highly rank, I love the campus and know a few friends that are going there right now. But do you think its weird for someone from Tuck to write a rec. for gtown?
