Early decision but no money..?

stl2cali2ki, if you are accepted ED you are expected to withdraw any other applications (EA or regular) that you already have out to other schools. You also agree not to submit any new applications at that point. If you aren’t willing to do that you should not apply ED.

If you apply ED and are not accepted, definitely apply anywhere you want to in regualar decision.

My son applied ED, and did not submit any other applications but he did have a lot of the work done ahead of time in case he was not accepted at the ED school, since the regular decision deadlines came quite quickly after the ED decisions were mailed out. He has already sent his teacher recs to the schools he planned on applying RD to in case he was rejected or deferred ED, as well as his transcripts. He held off on sending test scores since there is a fee for each one sent, and he didn’t submit the application itself ahead of his ED decision because again there is often a fee associated with the application. He did have a few all-purpose essays drafted and ready to go. Lucky for him though he did get accepted ED and didn’t have to apply anywhere else. It made for a relaxed senior year.
