SCEA admits -- waitlisted/rejected elsewhere?

Harvard, Yale and other colleges that have "single choice early action" programs do not allow candidates to apply to other schools during the early-action period only. However, once they receive EA (Early Action) decisions (mid-December), then applicants are free to apply elsewhere, if they so choose.</p>

<p>Some colleges with early options exchange lists of admitted students, once their picks have been made. Therefore, if you apply early to such a college and you are admitted, then other colleges will see your name on that list. If you are not admitted, then the other schools will never know you applied elsewhere. But even when colleges don't check up on early applicants, your signature--and your honor--is still on the line.

<p>Do you think this happened to us?</p>

<p>The interesting (and important) thing is WHICH colleges. Can we ever know? As for me, the only other schools I applied to were Princeton and Duke. Duke threw potential merit money at me, so obviously I didn't have a problem there. But I got waitlisted at Princeton - still, I think that had a lot more to do with the fact that they have an ED program and little space for RD applicants, and I'm not exactly near the very top of the pool. Interesting...</p>
