ED and EA

<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>Cheers!</p>

<p>Hey no Brown doesn’t let you apply EA to a school if you’re applying ED to Brown.</p>

<p>tetrisfan is right. I believe you can apply rolling admission and regular admission if you apply ED to Brown. </p>

<p>Several schools are Single Choice EA (Yale? Stanford?), so I imagine you cannot apply ED if you apply to them early.</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>My daughter did not apply to Brown, but to a school OTHEr than Brown, ED.
And to others, EA.
EA is NOT binding. So still seems odd.</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>Thanks btw for all your helpful responses.</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>

<p>Also, I think MIT is also restricted EA.</p>

<p>MIT is not SCEA. One of my friends applied EA to MIT and a safety and ED to her first-choice school, and it was all legal.</p>

<p>CalTech also has EA that is not SCEA, but Stanford is SCEA.</p>

<p>Haha okay so could I ED Upenn and EA UNotreDame?</p>

<p>depends on notre dame and upenn policy</p>
