REA

[AliceWS]

Can I apply GTown and ND at the same time? I mean REA these two schools?

No. REA means you can apply EA only to one school.

Yes you can…both schools restrict ED apps, but not other non-binding EA apps. Let’s go to the websites:

Notre Dame REA

Notre Dame has a non-binding Restrictive Early Action program.

A student applying Restrictive Early Action to Notre Dame may apply to other Early Action programs.
A student applying Restrictive Early Action to Notre Dame may not apply to any college or university in their binding Early Decision program.
Students do not indicate a first-choice preference by applying early, and still may wait until May 1 to indicate their decision to attend.

Georgetown EA (note they do not call it REA, although it is restricted)

The Early Action program is designed to enable superior students to learn of their admission early in their senior year. The Committee on Admissions will primarily focus on a student’s academic performance and personal achievements through the end of the junior year in high school.

Georgetown’s Early Action program is grounded in the belief that students should be free to choose among colleges until the May 1, Candidate’s Reply Date. Accordingly, admitted Early Action students will have the same reply date as Regular Decision candidates.

In keeping with this principle, students applying under the Early Action program may not apply to any binding Early Decision programs since they then would not be free to choose Georgetown if admitted. Students are, however, allowed to apply to other Early Action or other Regular Decision programs while simultaneously applying to Georgetown’s Early Action program.

I stand corrected. Sorry.
