<p>Perhaps this is an obvious question, but I was browsing through some stats profiles, and saw a few people who had applied to Columbia ED in addition to some non-restrictive EA schools (like UChicago). Does this mean that seniors may apply to Columbia as well as non-restrictive EA schools such as MIT, Caltech, and UChicago (even though they MUST attend Columbia if accepted)?</p>
<p>^^ I was reading about something like that too. It sounds very intense.</p>
<p>My younger son applied ED to Columbia and EA to Chicago. When he was admitted to Columbia, he withdrew his application to the University of Chicago. No fuss, no muss.</p>
<p>Yes; you may apply to multiple schools early action but only one under early decision - if accepted to the one that was early decision, you MUST go to that school ...(unless a livable financial aid package can in no way be worked out)</p>
