<p>I know that Restrictive EA at Stanford doesnt allow you to put in an application for any other early decision or early action.</p>
<p>But there's a girl in my district who claims to have gotten into MIT and Stanford early. Does that make sense? How could she have put in an early application for MIT if Stanford is restrictive?</p>
<p>Because of what she said, I was about to put in early decision for Columbia, thinking that it was okay, until I read the rules on the Common App website.</p>
<p>Its not possible, the girl was probably lying, and I shouldnt put in ED for Columbia, right?</p>
<p>edit:
Sorry, i forgot to mention that Stanford is my first choice college, but I was ready to go to Columbia if I had gotten in early.</p>

<p>She obviously broke the terms of agreement and could have had her admission to Stanford revoked.</p>
<p>There are exceptions to Stanford's restrictive early action. MIT's EA, however, is not one of them.</p>
<p>Restrictive</a> Early Action : Stanford University</p>
<p>For example, EA to public schools is fine; applying to MIT early would break the rules of Stanford's SCEA.</p>
<p>IMO, she should have her admission revoked at both schools. Even though MIT is non-restrictive, it was disingenuous of her to apply to a restrictive EA in addition to MIT's. That shows a serious flaw of character. The directions on the application are clear; there's no way she could have misunderstood it (since you have to sign an agreement electronically).</p>

<p>Yes, that'd be a bad idea; in her case, she'd probably get her admission rescinded at Stanford, possibly MIT. But since Stanford's and Columbia's early programs are both restrictive, you'd have your admission rescinded from *both<a href="definitely">/I</a> if they found out.</p>
<p>Yeah, kyledavid put it succinctly. Though I have a feeling the girl may have gotten in through an early notification program at Stanford (you apply RD and if your app is really good they tell you early that you'll be admitted) and that is what she might have meant by "getting in early" at both schools which obviously would not be a violation of the restrictive early action agreement with Stanford. In your case, you definitely cannot apply early to both Stanford and Columbia without your admissions being rescinded from both. If Columbia is your first choice I think you can ED there and EA at MIT as well, different schools have different policies on whether you can apply somewhere else EA if you apply there ED (I know Cornell allows you to do this). If Stanford is your first choice you can SCEA there but nowhere else.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot guys =.,=</p>
