ED to Penn AND Cornell

can i apply ed to both colleges and and if i get accepted at both can i say that i not content with the financial package offerered byone of the school and then choose the other school?

What do the rules explain on each school’s website for Early Decision?

You can only do one. Otherwise, If you are lucky to get in, They may revoke your admission. Ivies do talk. They do not want such students.

Your counselor should not allow a transcript to be sent to 2 schools for ED as it will make the school look really bad.

ED is binding and generally you can only apply to one school ED. Official ED guidelines are on their sites. The kind of person who would ignore the school’s policies is not the kind of student they want. Schools talk and could very easily rescind offers if they learn of such actions.

It’s possible that even years down the road or while you’re in college you could have your diploma revoked/be expelled. Dishonesty even in the application process is a dangerous road to walk.

If finances are a concern then you should not apply early decision.

You can only ED to one school. End of discussion.

If you want to have the opportunity to compare financial offers then do not apply anywhere ED.
