Early Decision Deferral: Ruin chances at other schools for regular acceptance?

Applying to College
1

<p>If you apply early decision somewhere and get denied/deferred, do other colleges that you apply to regular decision see that? And does that affect your chances (since you chose that other college as your main binding college)? I understand that early decision binding means that if you are accepted, you can't get in, but what about if you get denied? Thanks...</p>

<p>I think you mean “can’t get out”, as in get out of the ED agreement.</p>

<p>No other colleges will know if you applied ED to another school. So, no, it will not ruin your chances for other schools RD.</p>
