[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t you apply REA to both? Although if the college office at Prep (I assume) is telling you to pick one, listen to them. [/quote]

DP. Different school. NO! With restrictive early action, it only allows you to apply EA to PUBLIC universities.  You cannot EA at another private university.[/quote]

100%.  You can only REA to one[/quote]

This is wrong, and an example of why you should not seek advice on this forum.[/quote]

NP. It’s not wrong. The “R” in REA stands for “restricted.” The restriction is that if you apply REA to a school, you cannot apply early (REA/SCEA/EA/ED) to another private university.[/quote]

Oh FFS.  It's okay to be stubborn when well informed, but ...

From ND Admissions site:

Notre Dame has a non-binding Restrictive Early Action program.

A student applying Restrictive Early Action to Notre Dame may apply to other Early Action programs at either private or public colleges or universities.
A student applying Restrictive Early Action to Notre Dame may not apply to any college or university (private or public) in their binding Early Decision 1 program.
If you apply to Notre Dame through REA, you may apply to any Early Decision 2 program as this has a deadline post our REA decision release in mid-December. [/quote]

[b]You're really sticking to your guns here, aren't you?[/b] You may not apply to two restrictive action programs. Georgetown has the same restriction. You can apply REA to Georgetown and to other EA, but not other REA. You cannot apply REA to both Georgetown and ND.[/quote]
Always amusing when this line is thrown around, because it is invariably the line thrower who is doing it — and that person is, as here, invariably wrong.

People, the idiocy thrown around this thread is embarrassing: [b]Notre Dame and Georgetown have a special early action where, from those schools’ perspective, you can apply early anywhere you want, but not ED.[/b] Get it? Not so difficult to understand. Of course you can apply early to multiple private schools such as Georgetown, Notre Dame, Macalester, Bard, Fordham, Santa Clara, Richmond, USC etc.

No, you can’t apply early to Georgetown and Harvard both. But that has nothing to do with Georgetown or Notre Dame. It is because the SCEA schools (HYPS) don’t allow it. They are the ones being jerks; don’t drag Georgetown and Notre Dame into their nefarious cartel.

My favorite part of this thread is when the Georgetown website is quoted as “proof” Georgetown has SCEA. If you actually go to that website page, Georgetown is just explaining what SCEA is to confused folk — to distinguish Georgetown from SCEA.

Here’s the relevant quote and the link:
“Early Action (Georgetown’s program) allows applicants to make multiple Early Action applications, so long as they are not applying to a binding Early Decision Program. Applicants admitted in December under Early Action have until May 1 to decide whether or not to attend.”

What's special about this. It's just regular old EA. [/quote]
“Regular old EA” allows ED apps. Georgetown and ND do not. Duh.[/quote]
