[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son is right.  You cannot apply ED2 until you hear back from ED1 bc it is a binding contract if he gets into that school.  You can apply to other schools via EA if you would like, but that’s about all you can do until Dec. 15.  The other posters saying to apply early for everything have no idea how it works.  We just went through this song and dance last year and asked similar questions. [/quote]

Agree.  This is right.  You can never have more than one binding (ED) application out there at once.  That is the point of ED - you are saying you are committing to this one school, if accepted.  Depending on the school, you can usually have non-binding Early Action (EA) applications out there at the same time as one ED, but there are exceptions.  You need to research carefully the rules for each school.  For instance, Yale, Notre Dame and others have plans with particular features - read carefully bc they have rules in terms of on what basis you may or may not apply to other schools.  If you are declined or deferred from an ED 1 school, they release the binding commitment, so you are free to apply ED2 if you wish, elsewhere - but only after you are released from that binder.  Advice to have many options ready to go is great too.  Because after receiving referral/denial from ED1 in December, it's a lot of work to quickly get other applications done in time.  Especially if the student is experiencing disappointment.  And the number of supplemental essays to quickly write is hard.  Best to write a bunch in the Fall if possible, and have lots of flexibility in mind.  Good luck! [/quote]
