<p>if you apply for caltech and mit as an early, do caltech know that I applied for mit or vice versa?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>You bring up a good point, rlaqhdus, one about which I have been wondering, too. I would say no, but if they both use the Common Application for Early Action, then I'm not sure.</p>
<p>The Kenyon application flat out asks to which other schools one is applying; this sparked a similar question.</p>
<p>You DO mean Early Action, right? It is impossible to do Early Decision to two schools; if you got into both, it would be a breach of contract, and although I am unsure of the specific consequences, I can assure you that they would be very grave.</p>
<p>Rlaqhdus, I'm not sure why you're worried about this situation. Both schools, Caltech and MIT, have a non-restrictive early action - this means you can apply to both of them early with no problems. </p>
<p>As for knowing whether you did the other, well... if a Caltech admissions officer likes to get on the phone with people at MIT and discuss who applied where, then that's their business. But it shouldn't affect you in any way.</p>
<p>Kingkouture, MIT has its own application, while Caltech uses the common application along with a supplement.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies.
@kingkouture: yes, i meant early action
@elliott_j: I know that I can apply both schools for early action..but i've been hearing this stuff that if i apply to both under early action (given that both colleges know that I applied to both of them early), then it could put me on disadvantage...</p>
<p>again thanks for comments</p>
<p>any other thought?</p>
