<p>My top priority is NYU Abu Dhabi and second is stanford but I missed sending a nomination form on the deadline for NYUAD’s ED 1 batch so I am thinking of applying ED 2 and applying to Stanford as Restrictive Early action. On the 0.00000000000001% chance that I get into both, will I have to go to Stanford?</p>
<p>Can u actually apply ED 2 and SCEA Stanford?? Is nyu abu dhabi part of the common app? If so, u can’t apply to both.
And scea is not restrictive, so if u get in, u don’t have to attend</p>
<p>Theres a reason its single college early action dude. Single means u cant apply anywhere else. Its not restrctive though. And ED is restrictive. If u apply to both ed and scea. Even if u get accepted into both, ur admission will be rescinded as soon as they find out. Its comsidered academic dishonesty.</p>
<p>If you get into Stanford then you can’t do ed2 for Abu dhabi but if you don’t you can</p>
<p>@Nekogami, not really, you can still compare financial aid packages if you get into Stanford. Nevertheless, I am not applying SCEA to Stanford because I realized that I would have to revoke all my other EA applications. How about UChicago as ED1 and NYUAD as ED2? If Chicago accepted me, would I have to revoke my ED2 application or not?</p>
<p>I think you have to check the rules for ED2 for the NYU program very carefully as well as the Stanford EA policies. Though you are permitted to apply to other schools when you apply SCEA for Stanford, I think there is a stipulation that you cannot also apply under any binding ED conditions as well as no other EA conditions. Only state schools, rolling admissions and regular admissions. That is my understanding with the Stanford SCEA policies.</p>
<p>I have not read the NYU ED rules, or ED2 rules for most colleges, but every ED school that I know of stipulates that you go there if accepted unless the financial aid package cannot be worked out with that school to make it affordable for you to go there. I’ve known many kids who applied EA, were accepted to those schools and then applied ED2 somewhere, and upon acceptance had to go there and turn down the EA offers. This has caused some major problems because sometimes the EA schools will come up with merit offers that one can compare with the ED aid/merit packages and the EA packages are much better, but EFC/need dictates that according to the contract signed, the student is supposed to commit to the ED school. That’s where I have seen some heavy duty finnagling to get out, and it really is not ethical and is a breach of the ED contract signed.</p>
<p>I believe some of the responses are not totally correct</p>
<p>If you apply to a school ED1 and get accepted … assuming the financial aid package is OK you committed to attend this school and must withdraw your other applications. Note, the review of the financial package will likely happen in a vacuum with benefit of seeing other offers. There is no waiting to see other packages. </p>
<p>ED2 is similar to ED1 just timed later … but your acceptance is still likely to early enough that you’ll have to make the accept/don’t accept choice before seeing any other offers.</p>
<p>If a school is SCEA and you are accepted you can wait to decide to accept or not and get to see your other financial packages … however you can not apply to other schools either ED or EA. (non-restrictive EA applications do allow you to apply to a ED school and other EA schools).</p>
<p>UChicago has non-binding, non-restrictive early action, so you won’t have to attend there if accepted.</p>
<p>ITA with 3togo.</p>
<p>but do I revoke my ED2 application if ED1 accepts me or do I just revoke RD.</p>
<p>Actually, I think OP could apply both SCEA to Stanford and ED2 to Abu Dhabi. One of Stanford’s SCEA exceptions is: The student may apply to ANY foreign college/university on ANY application schedule. (Capitals are mine). I would consider NYU Abu Dhabi a foreign university, although I could very well be wrong due to affiliation with NYU.</p>
<p>[Restrictive</a> Early Action : Stanford University](<a href=“Page Not Found : Stanford University”>http://admission.stanford.edu/application/decision_process/restrictive.html) gives Stanford’s early action rules.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it is not completely clear whether the exception for foreign colleges and universities requires non-binding application (they left out the word “non-binding” that is present in the other exceptions). Contact Stanford for clarification.</p>
<p>I think that you should contact Stanford. However, here is what I think is meant: If you apply to Stanford REA and get accepted and then you apply ED 2 to NYU-AD and get accepted, then you are binded to NYU. IMO, I think that you should apply RD to NYU if you are accepted to Stanford REA.</p>
