[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“You are wrong -- what you are describing is SINGLE CHOICE early action (HYPS).  Restricted Early Action just means that you cannot apply anywhere with a binding (ED) application.”

Nope. I definitely am not wrong. This is explained on Harvard’s website and in Common App. It’s extremely clear and direct.
I am looking directly at Harvard’s admissions page right now. It says REA means you may NOT apply early action to any other private college, restrictive or not. It is VERY clear. You may apply Early Action to a public or international college.

You’ve both just given a perfect illustration of why the whole thing is confusing, and students need to read each school’s definitions and requirements carefully.

OP is talking about Georgetown. They make it clear that although they use the term Early Action, students may not apply early decision anywhere else, but they MAY apply early action to other schools. Georgetown’s EA essentially functions as an ED. [/quote]

It doesn't matter what the college calls it, the schools are VERY CLEAR about the rules. Georgetown's policy is not confusing at all. The website is not confusing at all. I am not saying the kid clearly did it deliberately. He may have been in a mad rush and not read the policy. That is still on him and he he needs to come clean ASAP.[/quote]
