<p>Ok i'll keep it simple. I am applying to Chicago EA, MIT EA, and Columbia ED. Will Columbia see that I've also applied to MIT and CHicago? And, will this lower my chances at Columbia or show that I'm not dedicated even though it's ED? I will obviously just apply CU ED if applying to other schools EA will jeapordize my chances at all 3 schools, but I hope that's not the case. I like having backups in teh early round.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>No.
No.
and
No.</p>
<p>In fact it's a great idea (it's what I did). But make sure Columbia is your first choice! (So if you do get into MIT/Chicago/Columbia, you'll be perfectly fine with going to Columbia--- cuz you are). </p>
<p>Might as well throw CalTech in there if you're gnna early MIT/CHicago. CalTech is easier to get into too if you have the stats that will make you competitive for MIT/Columbia/Chicago.</p>
<p>PS... Just don't tell your interviewer.</p>
<p>Thanks, that's reassuring. I assume you got into Columbia? lol as for Caltech i'll have to think about it. I'm not an engineering freak. I'm only applying to MIT for economics/sloan. And, because I would fit into the track/xc program. I have no idea how business at caltech is.</p>
<p>Anyone have anything to contradict this or will it be ok?</p>
<p>Yup going to Columbia. Deferred MIT, in @ chicago & michigan. didnt early caltech. MIt is notoriously difficult to early due to their EA policy (cap is 30% of the class so ~300 kids get in max as an upper limit). </p>
<p>Caltech has no business program at all. If you wanna become a banker... just go to an ivy. MIT is unnecessary as well despite a top business program. It's heavily skewed towards quantitative stuff though so make sure your math is up to par.</p>
<p>I thought when you apply ED to one school you cannot apply EA or ED to others hmmmmm..</p>
<p>I love the university of Chicago's gothic campus</p>
<p>haha that's what i thought too authentic, but apparently Columbia allows you to apply elsewhere EA. But make sure those EA schools allow other ED schools. I think the list is pretty limited. SChools like Georgetown and BC will not allow this.</p>
