@SJ2727 Good points. The thread title is a total oxymoron; it really doesn’t mean anything. If you don’t get in ED to your first choice school, then you apply ED2 to your second choice and RD everywhere else. But interpreting the OP intended meaning to be “where could I apply EA at the same time as my ED application?”, then the pickings are somewhat slim. I think that’s why Tulane was mentioned, just because it’s a good school that takes EA applications.
