DC wants the decision to be over as soon as possible.
Can he apply ED1 - School A ED 2 - School B and EA - School C? |

| PP here - with the caveat that if he is accepted to his ED 1 school, he has to withdraw all other apps. |

| Unless it’s early action to Ivys. You can’t apply EA to Harvard and Yale, for instance. |

| You have to read each schools rules, but generally yes. One wouldn’t use those options at the same school. |

| Technically, I don’t think you’re supposed to have ED1 and ED2 applications in at the same time, based on the agreement language. But as long as you immediately withdraw the ED2 application if you get into the ED1 school, it’s probably not an issue. |

Some people submit the E2 school as RD and then switch to ED2 if they don’t get into ED1 school |

Yes you can - it’s called REA at Harvard and SCRA at Yale |

No. That's the point of SCEA (what it's actually called for these schools). You can't apply early to any other private, except for rolling admissions schools. Only EA to state schools. No ED. |

Yes, the whole point of ED2 is to pick another ED choice when you don't get ED1. Schools smartly added it realizing they could capture the audience of full pay students hoping to lock in a top school well before March/April. So most don't "pick an ED2" until after mid Dec |
