well that's not true.

Yes it is. You can REA and EA but you can’t REA to two schools. That’s what the R means.

You're wrong, but I dont care.

Here we go again
SCEA (we don’t care what they call it): HYPS, no applying early to any private schools because we are jerks.
REA Notre Dame and Georgetown only; apply early to any school you want to, just don’t apply ED.
ED: we get a bad rap but you can apply early to any private school you want to, just not ED. We aren’t in that sense any more restrictive than those SCEA jerks…

Why are HYPS jerks? REA still allows a lot more flexibility than ED, which is what most other schools have.

With the important caveat that ED is binding on the student, but REA and SCEA admission allows kids to apply wherever they want RD and then chose where to go (and even SCEA allows kids to submit to public colleges with EA).

What part of prohibited from applying EA to other privates don’t you understand?

Most unhooked metro area students have a 0% chance of getting into HYPS. HYPS knows this; they are jerks. Come December, not only have students already pissed away the opportunity to apply somewhere ED; they have pissed away their opportunity to apply to any private EA. That sucks.

In contrast, a student rejected from Dartmouth ED in December has more options, more “flexibility,” because they might have a private EA admit in the bag.

But the ED schools are called jerks. The SCEA schools (a de facto demand that the first choice school amongst HYPS be chosen) are lauded for giving students “flexibility.” It’s an Orwellian world in which we live…

Dp, but you could SCEA to Harvard and EA to UVA, UNC, and GaTech, among others, and have multiple early acceptances at hand and still get to participate in the RD round. That’s better than ED, especially for families wanting to compare financial aid packages.

Very few private colleges offer EA. USC does, but EA has a lower acceptance rate than RD. Schools like Tulane and NE do, but they are a tier or two down for kids applying to Ivies.

Read the first post, at least. OP's kid wants to REA to Notre Dame and Georgetown and is wondering where to EA. Stanford is out of the question due to Stanford's restrictions.

OP, some EA schools that might be of interest: SCU, TCU, LMU

This was the first year USC did EA. 7% acceptance rate. RD was around 9%.

Yes, but the acceptance rate is lower in EA by a percentage point or two. Similarly, Georgetown makes an effort to have the same acceptance rate for EA and RD

This was the first year USC did EA. 7% acceptance rate. RD was around 9%.

It was the second year, first year was for seniors graduating in 2023.

This sort of proves the point that there aren’t many highly rated private colleges with EA.
