It is fine to apply rolling admissions to other schools if you are applying ED. In fact, it makes good sense to do so, instead of waiting to hear back from the ED school.

However, the student needs to understand that if they are admitted to the ED school they have made a binding agreement to attend that school. Any acceptances already received from other schools at that point must be turned down immediately for the ED school, and any applications still outstanding must be withdrawn immediately (well, after the financial aid is settled).
