<p>Has anyone every tried this, even though it would be violating Harvard's honor code (single choice)? Do colleges talk about this or no?</p>
<p>I plan on applying Harvard SCEA nonetheless for solely my academics, but for MIT I may be recruited for football and they suggest I apply EA, so can I take the chance? (if SCEA comes out before, can I quickly withdraw MIT?)</p>
<p>I know the moral answer, but would they know? Please answer mainly with experience and not assumptions.</p>
<p>You think H doesn’t talk to the school 1 mile down the road?</p>
<p>Good point, I probably shouldn’t have even asked. But how seriously does Harvard take this? Has anyone on CC ever been penalized for applying to multiple ED’s/SCEA’s? </p>
<p>Just wondering, haha</p>
<p>Your GC would have to be complicit to allow multiple EDs. I would assume the same for multiple REAs. They should know better. And your HS could get blackballed.</p>
<p>OP, you lack the maturity for Harvard, and virtually any college haha.</p>
<p>Has Harvard ever rescinded an admittance, told a student to withdraw, or revoked a diploma? Yes to all three. That really is all you need to know.</p>
<p>I’m confused to why so many of these types of threads have popping up as of late.</p>
<p>Go ahead and apply and you’ll find out.</p>
<p>Have you ever looked at the MIT common data set? The ONLY item marked ‘Very Important’ is Character/personal qualities (all the usual suspects are marked ‘Important’). This is an obvious fail</p>
<p>I’m sorry if I offended anyone with this. It was more of an “I wonder” post more than anything else. I would never blatantly jeopardize the possibility of me being accepted to one school just to apply to another school a couple months early, that is simply stupid. I was only wondering since I may be recruited for a sport, which could factor in differently since MIT already knows my intention to apply and suggests that I apply early anyways. </p>
<p>I don’t understand where all the hate came from; we’re all part of the same community here, learning things new every day, but I apologize if my original post seemed like I was intentionally trying to be dishonest.</p>
<p>
Even worse. Trust me, coaches talk amongst themselves. I know you will do the right thing though :)</p>
<p>
Asked and answered</p>
<p>keyword “if”, since I do not believe it was as unprincipled as you guys made it seem like. Sorry if you do. It was just a question. </p>
<p>I reread your original post and I have to say nobody has this sort of experience so we have to make assumptions. What do you think?</p>
<p>MIT does not recruit athletes. You’ll need to get in on your merits alone. And, yes, MIT and Harvard admissions talk.</p>
<p>@cttwinmom2015 MIT does “recruit” athletes. I just graduated high school and one of the kids in my class was “recruited” for baseball (i think, I could be wrong on the sport) and is now attending. It may not work as some other recruiting works (auto-admit), but it exists.</p>
<p>While MIT does in fact recruit, it is not the same as D1 recruiting. Depending on the sport, the coach may have some sway to no sway with admissions. In general, athletes are held to the same standards as other applicants; unlike in the Ivy League, there is no Academic Index. From the [MIT</a> Admissions Blog](<a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/more_questions]MIT”>More questions | MIT Admissions):

<p>@guineagirl96 I still say if you don’t have the grades and SATS, it doesn’t matter. DS is applying EA to MIT and clicked something on the app to say that he was interested in continuing with 1 of his sports in college (he’s a 3 varsity sport athlete), and within minutes got an email from the MIT coach. But it makes it clear on that coach’s email that admittance is all about the grades and SATs.</p>
