<p>Second question:</p>

<p>You can only be accepted to one college.</p>

<p>Your application is only reviewed by your alternate choice if your primary rejects you and feels like you would be a better fit at your alternate college.</p>

<p>Then your application is reviewed again by your alternate choice.</p>
