Worth applying ED to Ivies?

<p>Do you think that it is worth applying ED to the Ivies and 'take a chance'? I am really unsure if I should apply ED or RD to UPenn next year, because I remember reading somewhere that you should save the ED for a school you have a higher chance of getting into? Also, just to clarify, if you apply ED to one school, you are still not allowed to apply EA to other schools? Thanks</p>

<p>You should apply ED to the school you absolutely love and would attend no matter what. “A school you have a higher chance of getting into” is not worth an ED in that context – what if you absolutely hate the school? </p>

<p>In regards to ED & EA, it depends on the school. Some schools that offer ED restrict applicants from applying EA elsewhere; some don’t.</p>

<p>I know of no ED school that restricts EA applications of any type. It’s the strange REA or SCEA schools that declare no ED - and even they don’t restrict normal EA schools.</p>
