<p>...and I get accepted to all of those? Can I choose?</p>
<p>Will the schools know where I applied?
and here's another one:
If a school accepts me in ED, but I can't really afford it,
Will they let me go? or I would be forced to attend(kinda weird).</p>
<p>If schools find out that you applied ED multiple places (and many do share lists) both schools could revoke your acceptance. Don't do it. </p>
<p>Yes, if you literally can't afford it they'll let you go. However, if financial aid is a concern, DO NOT apply ED! Just don't do it. Getting released is a royal pain and will usually preclude you from attending similarly competitive schools.</p>
<p>It's not easy to apply to multiple schools ED. Your GC has to certify that you're only applying to one when he/she sends your transcript, rec & school report. Most GCs won't lie for you.</p>
<p>What part of "binding acceptance" is a problem for you?</p>
<p>us citizens enjoy need-blind + meet full needs for ED at most selective universities. However, their definition of "need" and yours may not be the same. so i dont think u shouldn't apply to ED if financial aid is a concern...</p>
<p>I know a kid who did it. ED to Tufts and Middlebury. Luckily he got into one and rejected by the other. (Accepted to Midd)</p>
<p>Dont apply to more than one and dont apply ED if you need aid. You're potentially taking away someone's spot.</p>
<p>being afraid of "taking someones spot" is not a reason to not apply to a school, or ED.</p>
<p>ummm if you cant afford it or if you illegally apply to more than one college it is...</p>
<p>So can you apply EA to more than one school?</p>
<p>In most cases, yes, you can apply EA to more than one school. EA is not binding; you are not promising to attend if admitted. You will have until the regular decision reply date (May 1) to respond to an EA admission.</p>
<p>There are, however, a couple of exceptions. Yale and Stanford, to name two, have "single choice" or "restricted" EA, which says that you can apply EA only to that school. There may be others with such restrictions. Additionally, Georgetown has EA, and you can apply to other schools EA, but you cannot apply ED to any other school.</p>
<p>Check the websites of the schools so you can verify the individual schools' requirements and restrictions.</p>
<p>I don't get your point.
Why shouldn't I apply ED if I need FA? I mean what's the relationship? I get admitted in ED and then start thinking financially. If i can't afford it, they "release" me. What's bad here?</p>
<p>Because the whole point of ED is if you get in, you're going. If you cant afford it to begin with, it's not necessarily true and defeats the purpose.</p>
<p>Whether you can "afford" it is determined not by you, but by the college. They determine your need, and you will have to fight with them to get released. It is not a simple process.</p>
<p>Also, by applying ED you forfeit the chance to compare other financial aid offers from other schools. Your second choice may be much more affordable if they give you more aid or more scholarships/fewer loans, but you'll never be able to see that offer since you have to withdraw all your other apps once admitted ED.</p>
<p>they still have financial aid calculators for ED, and it's still need blind + meet full needs for international students.
its not like they dont give you any money for ED, so why not apply for ED?</p>
<p>I heard that it costs $5 grand to break the ED contract with you and the school.</p>
<p>Oh! That's not sweet.</p>
<p>Yea...EDing to multiple schools is never a good idea..</p>
<p>kennyk616, what school are you talking about? Very few are both need-blind and meet 100% of need for internationals.</p>
<p>Could someone apply, say EA to school X and EDI to school Y, both due the same date? Will the EDI school revoke your potential admittance if you applied EA to the other school? Vice versa?</p>
<p>And what if you're rejected from the EDI school, and then apply to an EDII school, which is due after the EDI school notification? Confusing, I know, but let's put it into this perspective:</p>
<p>John is going to apply to several colleges: College X, College Y, College Z.</p>
<p>He applies to College X EA, with the deadline by November 15th. He also applies to College Y EDI, with the same deadline of November 15th.</p>
<p>In mid-December, John is pleased to know he was accepted by College X with EA, yet rejected by College Y EDI...John still has plenty of time to decide if he wants to go to College X, so he decides to apply to College Z using EDII, which has a deadline of January 1...John gets in to College Z, and this, HAS to attend...</p>
<p>^Is that above scenario realistic? Obviously, if John was accepted by College Y, he would not apply to College Z, and would withrdaw his acceptance at College X. But do colleges, in general, allow students to apply to other schools under various EA and ED conditions? I don't see why a student couldn't...If a student is rejected by one EDI decision, he can apply to another school EDII?</p>
<p>Yes, it was correct.</p>
