<p>Hey I’m new here. I was wondering if I could ED Brown and EA other schools? I know Georgetown and a few others don’t allow you to EA to their school if you’re EDing at all. Anybody know any more schools that do EA but don’t allow you to ED???</p>
<p>Brown ED has a special clause that says you agree to not apply anywhere else EA (especially not SCEA, cuz then you’d be lying to two schools!). Read the legal thing you “sign” on the application before you submit.</p>
<p>I know my daughter applied ED and EA to a school other than Brown, and was told, if you get in ED, you just call the other schools and tell them to w/draw your application, or if you were accepted, to tell them to w/draw the acceptance. EA is not binding, remember, so not really sure why Brown even does this?</p>
<p>Your daughter violated the terms of the ED contract. She signed her application, which contained the clause saying she could <em>only</em> apply to Brown early.</p>
<p>I’m not sure why Brown does it. Perhaps it ensures them that Brown really is your very first choice.</p>
<p>Do most IVY league schools have that “clause” in the common app for ED?
I was thinking either Brown or Columbia or UPenn for ED and then pick a couple schools for EA.</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of an ED school that allows you to apply early elsewhere. Many schools that are EA do SCEA which also means you cannot apply elsewhere. The whole point of ED is not to let you know earlier that your into a school, but rather, to offer a student the opportunity to demonstrate that Brown is a high first option, above all other schools.</p>
<p>A lot of schools allow you to apply ED while applying EA elsewhere. It still tells them that they are your first option, since if you get in your just as “bound” as if you hadn’t applied elsewhere. In the meantime, if you don’t get in, it does allow you to find out early from the EA schools, which I believe is the intent of EA.</p>
