ED II?

If i were to apply to a school ED and get deferred or rejected and while i was waiting for my decision apply to another school RD would i be able to send change my status from RD to ED II at that school? sorry if this doesn’t make sense

It depends on the school. I think UChicago affirmatively solicits applications to change to ED II if they applied EA and/or RD.

If you were rejected ed you don’t get a second chance. You could apply ed 2 or rd anywhere you choose to

I think OP meant change to ED II at his RD school (not the one to which he initially applied ED).

Check for the schools where you are considering this option, but generally speaking that should work. Also, in many cases, you could just wait to hear ED1 decision before applying ED2. The ED1 decision might come after the ED2 deadline but often not. Good luck!

@Sunny66 Thanks. I missed that.

usually it means that you would apply ED to school 1. If you don’t get in, you could apply ED2 to school 2. It gives you two chances for ED.
If you didn’t get accepted ED1 for school 1, they would generally put you into the Regular decision pool.
