<p>^^ Where was the guidance counsellor in this? He/she had to send transcript/recs to both schools. Which is clearly a “nono”. As a professional I am assuming that his/her students in the RD round as well as in years following will be punished by both colleges. </p>
<p>Also - 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 - it seems he technically broke both rules since Columbia “doesn’t allow” an applicant to break the other school’s rules.</p>
