Your son can also apply RD to any schools prior to hearing back from Vassar. And he can apply EA to other schools whose rules do not forbid ED/EA applications (Georgetown and BC’s rules do forbid it). The restrictions have to do with what happens upon acceptance to the ED school; after all, why would an ED school say that you must withdraw other applications if you weren’t allowed to send them in the first place?

Since rolling admissions are not binding, the worst (best?) that happens is that he gets into Vassar and must say no to the other schools that accepted him.
