hi guys! this isn't a "chance me" thing, I actually just have a question about ED stuff.
If I'm applying ED to Columbia, can I apply EA to other schools (not state schools)?
On Columbia's website, it says that they don't encourage students to do so, but at the same don't restrict them from doing so.
However, on most other EA schools' websites, it says to respect other schools' ED guidelines and not apply ED elsewhere while applying EA there, basically assuming that ED is always restrictive. Is this true?
I'm kind of freaking out. Although Columbia is absolutely my top choice, my chances of admission are incredibly low. But hey, why not. I'll never know if I don't try.

Let me know what you guys think about the issue.
