<p>If I already applied early decision at a school can I still apply Early Decision 2 to Vanderbilt? I'm almost positive that i won't get into the first school I applied to so I definitely want to have a chance at Vanderbilt. The common app allows me to click Early Decision II but I'm just unsure about it. Thanks</p>
<p>You should wait until you get the results from the ED school; submitting ED2 early won’t help anyway.</p>
<p>You should wait until you hear back from the first ED school. The deadlines are staggered such that you can hear the results first before submitting an ED2 application. Make sure you have your application essays (and apps) ready to go for VU as well as other regular decision schools too so that you are not scrambling in December to write essays!</p>
<p>No, you can not apply to an EDll school until you’ve been rejected or deferred from your ED school. You can always switch your ED to RD though if you want to try Vandy.</p>
