<p>I applied early decision ii to NYU. If I get into NYU, they will give me 3 weeks to make my deposit and confirm that I will be going there. But I will not find out whether or not I am admitted into the other schools that I would like to go to until about 6 weeks after I am admitted into NYU (if I get into NYU). The NYU early decision contract stated that I must withdraw all of my other applications if I am admitted. Is there any way that they could check whether or not I withdraw my other applications? I would like to go to NYU, but I would rather go to UCLA, Berkeley, or USC. I applied early decision to increase my chances of being admitted just in case I did not get into UCLA, Berkeley, or USC. </p>
<p>Can they see if I do not withdraw my other applications?</p>
<p>If you decide to attend NYU (which you more than likely will being an EDII applicant) then I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to withdraw your other applications. Last thing I would want is to be stuck with a second choice school, and then learn I was accepted to my top choice.</p>
<p>If you applied ED to a school and you are accepted, you must go unless the FA package they offer you is not enough. You signed a contract that you would definitely attend NYU if admitted ED II, and that is all there (really) is to it. That you would prefer to go to other schools is not NYU’s concern, and you will not able to wait and see what other schools you got into. I believe your counselor is bound to tell other schools that you were accepted EDII, and if you do end up breaking EDII, you could very well be ‘black-listed’ or your school ‘black-listed.’</p>
<p>If you have any doubts that you would not love to attend NYU or would like to see other admissions officers, you need to call them–now-- and ask to be switched to the RD pool.</p>
<p>ED is for first choice schools only !!! You said you would rather go to three other schools which means its your fourth choice. Pick up the phone and call them right now and ask to be switched to RD. </p>
<p>Also you need to apply to a couple safeties in case you get rejected everywhere and have nowhere to go.</p>
<p>This is just another example of ED being bad for students</p>
<p>AirUpThere: you’re embarking on adult decisions with adult ramifications. You better shape up if you expect to be taken seriously. Reading and committing to agreements you sign is not trivial.</p>
<p>Follow through on your NYU commitment or immediately withdraw from their ED selection.</p>
