<p>I just got my deferral letter from Amherst today, and it says they've released me from my ED agreement, but now, with common app, I can't select Middlebury's ED 2 option because it conflicts with Amherst.</p>
<p>No, you're absolutely free to apply EDII to another school. The deferral released you from the binding commitment to your EDI school and has now put you in the RD group. Of course, if you get in your EDII school, you'll need to withdraw your application to all other schools (including the prior EDI school).</p>
<p>you have to create an alternate application on commonapp, theres a link on the forum somewhere. look for a discussion in the common app subforum.</p>
