Is my "friend" killing my chances of getting into my dream schools?

The bottom line is that somebody accepted EA should–ethically, in my opinion–withdraw apps from any schools that he knows he wouldn’t attend over the EA school. It’s remotely possible that the “friend” really can’t decide between Harvard and all those other schools, but it is really pretty unlikely.

<p>I agree. I think once a kid is accepted EA Harvard, he needs to “shut that thing down,” accept it and open up any spaces at other places he was contemplating. It’s more than a little pretentious to continue to solicit trophies. Having said that, OP - don’t sweat it.</p>
