<p>Could I apply to:</p>
<p>Northwestern: Early Decision
Georgetown: Early Action
Boston College: Early Action</p>
<p>???? Is that "legal." Basically, can I apply to one Early Decision school and then as many Early Action schools as I want, or am i not allowed to apply to any early action schools if i apply somewhere early decision??</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>you can not do it. it is against the rules, is unethical, and is considered illegal in college admissions.</p>
<p>No, you can't</p>
<p>Some EA schools let you apply to other schools ED as well, but that number is declining. Most schools know that are Early Action are either REA or SCEA (single-choice).</p>
<p>Georgetown and BC are both REA meaning you can apply to those schools early and any other school with an early action or rolling admissions but no binding early plans. </p>
<p>If Northwestern is your absolute first choice, apply their early and apply to those other 2 regualr decision. NU, I've heard, gives a significant boost for early applicants while Georgetown and BC do not.</p>
<p>Exactly, basically you can apply to as many EA programs as you want, as long as you dont apply to any ED or SCEA programs.</p>
