<p>I’m applying to brown ED. Am I allowed to start filing EDII application at another school (I will not complete it until I hear from Brown in December)?</p>
<p>you can do anything you want as long as you don't submit it to the school! They don't see it till you do, so what you do at the computer is not their concern :)</p>
<p>As long as you do not submit or pay for the application until your hear back from Brown, I see no problem with at least starting an app for EDII. You can choose how to go about the application once you hear back from them Dec 15.</p>
<p>Thank you for your responses.
I would like to submit Part 1 of the application to the other school. So you think it will be OK as long as I don't pay?</p>
<p>I wouldn't. Your call; could be your funeral.</p>
<p>I think that's really dicey. What's the hurry? Get it completely done so you just have to press a button if you get unfavorable news in Dec. There's absolutely no benefit to your submitting now, so why do it?</p>
<p>Wustl??????</p>
<p>Profanity: WUSTL no EDII</p>
<p>Please be very, very careful on how you decide to go about ED II or any other application that may look like EA but is actually NOT EA. Brown takes their ED policy quite seriously. My S has been getting a number of "priority application," not ED or EA, but it was in the gray area. It was appealing to the extent that they were waiving the application fees. I called Brown Admissions and was hoping for a quick answer, but they were concerned enough with my question that they got my name (arrgh, I did not want to do this because I was a parent and I was just curious) and told me they'll have an admissions officer call me back. Well, Dean Miller (the Dean of Admissions) called me back a couple of hours later, wanted to know the exact school I was referring to, I had to repeat the conversations I had with this school, and he finally determined this "priority" application was more like rolling admissions and it was okay. The office probably researched this further after my call. By the way, S did not apply to any of these "priority" application schools; he had no intentions whatsoever. As a parent, it appealed to me because of the potential savings in application fees, and I made this clear to the Dean.</p>
<p>On another point, most schools require you pay the application fee on the first part of the application and you also have to indicate your application preference - EA, ED, RD, etc. I'd wait as others have suggested and just have everything ready. Not worth the risk.</p>
<p>To clarify, these "priority applications" sounded like EA because they had a November 1 deadline and decision was within 30 days of deadline. They sound awfully like EA, even though it is called by a different name, so it is always best to double check.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone. I'll just wait for December...</p>
<p>so can we send out priority applications???</p>
<p>I posed my question to Dean Miller on a specific school and he gave me the go signal only for that particular school. I would not take that response from him as a blanket yes for all schools offering "priority applications." I would call the office of admissions with your specific school/s, if you still have the chance. In addition, prior to calling Brown, I had called the school offering priority application, and they told me that this is definitely NOT EA. Priority application is a gray area and there may be schools out there calling EA as a priority application. I'd be extremely careful before applying to any priority applications and call Brown directly.</p>
<p>What about a rolling admission school? If you get in but you also get into your ED school, you can just say that you won't be attending the rolling school right? Or does Brown not like that? I am planning on submitting an application to a rolling school so if anyone knows...</p>
<p>Check their website - most colleges are very specific about what is and isnt ok... as far as I know, rolling is ok because it's like RD, but don't take my word for it.</p>
<p>crzy2rite - Rolling admission sounds okay, but please call Brown. I bet there is an easy answer to this question, but double check with them.</p>
<p>In some cases you can make a regular app to a school and then "ED" it later. </p>
<p>Dont most of the common app schools have the regular app PLUS a one sheet ED form that turns it into an ED app? It would seem you could apply RD to a common app school and then if turned down by Brown you could then submit the one page form required for it to become an ED app. No?</p>
