Discus: Parents Forum: Early Action Question

All of my schools are early decision, except for two. Harvard is Early Action Single Choice, and Georgetown is Early Action Multiple Choice. I have decided not to apply early decision for financial reasons and because I just dont know exactly where I want to go. I am applying to Georgetown Early Action. Can I apply to Harvard early action also, or is this not allowed? One college book said I could, and the other said I could not. I dont know what to think. Help!

If you apply EA to Harvard, you can't apply EA or ED elsewhere. You can check the rules on Harvard's site.

A year or two ago, Harvard allowed students to apply EA there and ED/EA elsewhere and this caused a big mess. This included some students who, after they got a Harvard acceptance, tried to back out of ED commitments elsewhere.

Incidentally, when Harvard learned they had been accepted ED elsewhere, it rescinded their Harvard admissions.
