tryin2Bcool--Will you tell us where you applied? Are many of your friends/classmates applying (or have applied) to ED I & ED II colleges? If so, what are some of the "pairs"?

I don't see the problem. If you have been deferred when applying EDI, then the entire ED obligation is over. You promised to attend if accepted ED. Since anyone who is deferred is by definition not accepted, there is no obligation to attend. People who apply ED probably are more likely to attend the college if admitted regular, but certainly have not promised to do so.

Applying EDII before the notification for EDI is a little trickier, but I still don't see a problem if the EDI notice is well before the EDII notice, giving the student time to withdraw the EDII application before it is reviewed. If the EDII deadline is long before the EDI notice date, then you would be in the situation of promising to attend to separate colleges.

Most EDII deadlines I have seen have been after EDI notice dates. That is sort of the point- to catch promising students who did not get in EDI, but who still want to go early.

I'm still looking for ED I/ED II "pairs." Earlier in this thread, I listed some of the recent ones I know about, along with the outcomes. Everyone on my list was admitted to the ED II college.

So, I'm not only curious about other I/II combos with positive outcomes, but also about those gambits that weren't so successful ... where the candidate was NOT admitted to the ED II college.

Also ... does anyone have any anecdotal information about students who:

--applied to ED I college and were deferred, so then ...

---applied to ED II college and were also deferred ... and ...

--were eventually admitted via Regular Decision to either college ... or to both?
