is that even legal...?

<p>Okay...someone tell me I'm right. There are several people from my school who've applied early to several schools at once, claiming that it's okay if it's not SCEA or ED. One guy from my school is applying to both Yale and Emory EA...and somehow he still thinks that Yale "wouldn't really care". Am I right? Gosh, I've been frustrated this entire day.</p>

<p>Yale is SCEA so no he can't apply to Emory early as well. Perhaps he was just applying to the scholar's program. It isn;t EA but you have to turn in your application early.</p>

<p>Hmmm that is interesting....do the SCEA/ED schools collaborate on applicants? If not, then how are they supposed to know? </p>

<p>I suppose you could pull of lying about an EA and an ED at once, but if you do two ED applications then you are in deep trouble if you get into both. Then you would have to either lie to a school and say you can't afford it or just not go to either. Count me out.....lol</p>

<p>Your implication is that the college counselors at your school aren't following the rules. Transcripts and counselor recs would need to be provided to both/all schools and the professional reputation of the counseling department is on the line. A pledge is signed and future students from you school will be penalized if this is happening as you say it is.</p>

<p>yeah...see that's the thing...our college counselors don't really do anything besides sign documents and write letters...most have no clear idea where and under what porgram who and who is applying under.</p>

<p>I'll bet they sign the counselor form and send a transcript.</p>
