<p>I was at a presentation by Stanford last May. Someone was wondering about the ramifications of applying SCEA and ED to some other school. The stanford adcom said that in 2011 admission cycle someone applied ED to Columbia and SCEA to stanford. Both admitted the candidate and once they found out, both revoked the admission. </p>
<p>This outcome seems possible only If ED schools are sharing the admit names with peer schools. Technically, the applicant broke Stanford rules since Columbia rules allow the applicant to apply anywhere else as long as they don’t break the other schools rules and show up if they are admitted.</p>
