Question on THE DARTMOUTH....

<p>Hey, if you apply to Dartmouth ED, can you apply to any other schools? This is important, because it is my number one school, but it is a reach, probably a big one So, I don't want to lose an atvantage by applying to other schools and getting a higher chance for acceptance.</p>

<p>If you apply ED to Dartmouth you can apply EA to most schools (some schools have weird early action policies like Georgetown–basically you can’t apply EA there if you apply ED to a different school) and RD to any school BUT you can neither apply ED to another school nor Single Choice Early Action to a school (e.g. Yale).</p>

<p>Okay, but what is the difference between ED and EA? And thanks for your response. :)</p>

<p>Oh, and what schools offer EA?</p>

<p>this thread should answer your questions</p>

<p>In a nutshell</p>

<p>EA is nonbinding; if accepted, you don’t have to attend. You can also apply EA to a number of schools provided that they don’t have any extra strings attached like Yale, Stanford, or the aforementioned Georgetown. </p>

<p>ED is binding; if accepted, you do have to attend. You may only apply ED to one school.</p>
