Is it possible to create 2 common apps accounts and apply, at the same time, to two universities at the ED1?
What would happen if i do that ?
How can the university know if I did that or not?
Your guidance counselor will know and report it and you will be denied at both schools. The Common App organization will know too and report you.
If admitted to any college you should take a course on ethics.
Your guidance counselor has to submit your transcript. They will not send the same transcript to two accounts. You should really look at the honor code of your school and the colleges you want to attend.
I’m going to assume you asked out of random curiosity and not because you were planning on doing any such thing. I think you probably would get caught pretty early in the act. There’s too many thing that are in the way to allow a person to get away with that. For one, your personal information in the common app would be the same, which might raise some flags with the website, and then requesting transcripts would probably also alert other people. If you somehow managed to get through with the whole charade and you were accepted to both…then what could you do? You can only go to one college.
This is something that should not be done. When you choose to apply to a school ED the common app prompts you to sign an agreement and sends your parents an email so they can also sign an ED agreement. This agreement states that you can only apply to one school as ED and agree to withdraw all other apps if accepted. Your guidance counselor is also made aware. Why don’t you do some serious soul searching and select ONE school to apply ED. TBH, your post across as an attempt to usurp the system.
Are you going to propose to two girls at the same time if they would not find out?
“What would happen if i do that?”
They will find out. You will be denied at both places. I don’t know if anything else bad would happen.
“How can the university know if I did that or not?”
Have you heard of this thing called the Internet? It allows schools to share information.
You’re an international student. if you lie on applications, you can be denied a VISA to study in the US.
For sure your GC would not sign two ED agreement for you or he/she would be held legally accountable.
Some colleges share the names of students who were admitted ED. You might find yourself with two rescinded ED acceptances.
Unless you asked purely out of curiosity, with absolutely no intent to lie and cheat in this manner, please do us all a favor and stay home. The US is perfectly capable of producing a sufficient number of immoral people without help. We don’t need to import them.
In order to apply to two schools ED.
- You would have to have no morals.
- Your guidance counselor (who would have to sign the ED form) would have to have no morals and would have to be willing to risk your HS’s good name and reputation.
- Your parents (who sign the ED form as well) would have to have no morals.
4)You would have to be willing to risk that both schools don’t find out (information does get shared) and rescind any acceptance
As noted above if this is truly the way you want to operate please stay in your home country.
I have long liked the posters responsible for this statement, and I don’t think they meant it the way it sounded, but nonetheless I think it is out of line to tell people to stay in their own country. Our universities are vibrant because they embrace diversity, including people from other countries.
I agree with the rest of the comments, however. OP, colleges honor one another’s ED agreements. If you break one with one college, the other colleges that admitted you will inform you that your admission has been rescinded, which means you are no longer welcome to attend. You will end up unable to attend any university/college at all.
Dishonorable behavior is not welcome at any college. Plan to make only agreements you are willing to honor.
@TheGreyKing I don’t think any poster does not recognize the value of international students and/or thinks that international students don’t have a place at US universities. Certainly my comment was solely directed to one individual who appears willing to blatantly violate the rules by lying on signed documents in order to.gain an unfair advantage in the admissions process. FWIW I would also question whether a US student asking the same question is ready to take advantage of a college.education
I’m not sure that people who cheat the system is exactly the kind of diversity that colleges are looking for.
Believe it or not, the US universities are institutions of higher “learning”. They hire very intelligent people with great resources. Besides the information listed above, the university officials know a thing or two about catching people who lie. Just like I found your previous post, it’s not hard to access information:
So you REALLY need financial aid to attend a US university.
Why would you apply ED?
Why would you lie and apply ED to two schools?
Why would any US university want to fund an unethical, mediocre student?
MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Closing thread. Is there really anything left to say? Bottom line: no, you can’t. Nor is the purpose of this site to show you how to circumvent the system.
