<p>Is it true that if you apply to a college early admission and get accepted then you will have to go there automatically? Because I want to go to UVA, but they dont have ED. I also want to apply to William and Mary, and they do have ED, but I like UVA more.</p>
<p>Basically, if you apply to a school ED, you are in a binding agreement to enroll in that school, so in other words, you have to go. EA is basically applying Regular Decision, but you get your results back earlier, so there is no binding agreement. If you get deferred, then your app gets put back into the pool for RD, but if you get rejected, you can't apply there during RD.</p>
<p>Or at least, I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong =)</p>
<p>Well if you like UVA more then don't do ed to william and mary because then you'd have to go to william and mary if you are accepted there.</p>
