Admissions Advice

What if an REA school finds out you applied ED to another school and you get accepted to the REA school?
Answered

I know a friend that applied ED to one of the Ivy Leagues and they also applied Early Action to a private university. They got accepted into the EA university, so I looked up the university, and apparently, it is an REA university that did not specify it clearly. Will their acceptance be revoked if the admissions committee finds out they also applied ED elsewhere?

Hi @jo.star!

How did you figure out it is an REA university if they haven't specified it clearly? I'm not saying you're wrong but if you could give some relevant information, it would be easier to help.

The university is Georgetown and on their website, they never clearly specify REA, but they said you cannot apply to any other binding decisions.

Yeah, it is just like REA. The Georgetown application does tell you to consult the website for further information regarding Early Action, so their admission can be revoked if Georgetown finds out.

Probably, it really depends on the ED university's guideline. As far as I know, applying ED, for most colleges, means you cannot apply early to any other university. This constitutes a lie in your application, so they would have to revoke IF they found out. I'm not telling you to lie, but the consequences will be bad if the REA university finds out.

Correction: Applying ED to a college does not prevent you from applying EA to other universities (ED to another college is strictly prohibited, but not EA). However, applying REA or SCREA, as the name suggests, restricts you from applying Early to any private college like Rice, MIT, Cornell, NYU etc. (you can still apply early to public colleges like Purdue, UMich, UW, etc.)

Oh! I wasn't aware of that. Thank you for correcting! Wouldn't want to spread any misinformation
