[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You're really sticking to your guns here, aren't you? 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]

Again you are wrong.  It is determined on whether or not the other REA school has that restriction.  ND does not.[/quote]

Georgetown does. Why are so determined to be right on an anonymous chat board? You're wrong about this, you cannot applly REA to both Georgetown and ND. It's okay. Nobody knows who you are here. Move on.[/quote]

We just had this meeting with our HS college counselor. My son cannot apply to GU EA and any other private institution EA (no matter if it's restrictive or not).  GU specifically says you can only apply to public Universities EA.  That said, my son cannot apply to the Ivy REA and GU EA. He can apply to our state univ EA and Georgetown EA.[/quote]

OMG please do some research!!  Your counselor is WRONG.  From the GU website:

In keeping with this principle, students applying under the Early Action program may not apply to any binding Early Decision programs since they then would not be free to choose Georgetown if admitted. [b]Students are, however, allowed to apply to other Early Action or other Regular Decision programs while simultaneously applying to Georgetown’s Early Action program.[/b]

He's not if the kid was going to REA at Princeton or Yale.  With REA at those ivies you can only EA to a public university--so he would not be able to EA at GU and REA at HYP.

Early Action A Single Choice Early Action Plan is offered by Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. This plan does not require a commitment to matriculate, and students may apply to other colleges under those colleges’ regular admission programs (spring notification of final admission decision) [b]but not to another private institution’s Early Action or Early Decision program.[/b]![/quote]

The REA at HYP would not allow a student to EA at Georgetown.  Correct.[/quote]
