Our school has an accomplished student who got into their top choice school in non-binding early action and now he is waiting until all their decisions come in to commit to thE #1 choice EA school. So annoying because they are going to gobble up the spots at these other schools that their classmates really want to go to. Yes, this kid is exceptional in stats/ECs and will most definitely get in over the other kids.

This is exactly what a kid at our DC’s school is doing.

He already got in REA to an Ivy+. Also applied EA to MIT. (Not sure of the result.) Also applied RD to all the Ivys and the rest of the Ivy+ category, too. I think it’s 15 school total, if not more.

The kid has told classmates he’s not pulling any of his applications because he wants to see if any of them will offer him merit money.

It sucks for his classmates, but my understanding is there’s nothing barring him from doing this.

None of his applications involves loved a binding commitment. They only thing he couldn’t do was apply to multiple REA schools in the REA round. And he didn’t do that - he applied RD to all but one.

Again, it’s likely going to make things harder for everyone else from our school. Especially boys pursuing the same major.

But it is what it is. Or am I missing something?[/quote]

A student admitted ED agrees to pull all other applications if admitted. No such restriction on REA. So the student at your school isn’t breaking their word. The student in the OP is.
