<p>I applied to EDI but haven't received my decision yet and I won't get my decision until Jan 1 . However,I have another college on my ED list that I had saved for EDII . I just logged into commonapp and when I tried to change the decisions, it gave me an error message telling that I can't do anything about my ED college. I know ED is binding but I have heard of many people who have been rejected EDI and have applied under EDII . How do they do that ?Help!</p>
<p>no can do until you get rejected by ed1.</p>
<p>others have the same idea but get rejected at an earlier date than 1/1/07.</p>
<p>Some do use the EDI/EDII strategy, but the ones who utilize the pardigm have a decision by 12/15 or earlier from their EDI college, since that is the usual notification deadline. As you found out, there are some exceptions...</p>
<p>Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until the decision comes out, before submitting an EDII application, since the college you applied to early has a different notification date (1/1). </p>
<p>By the way, you'll have to print out and send your EDII CA in the mail...as the Common Application website won't let you use another ED option.</p>
<p>Technically you can use CommonApp online to apply to two schools ED1 and ED2. You just have to create a new account with another user name and re-enter all your information.</p>
