Reading your post, it looks as if you were accepted ED to tufts which means you have to rescind all of your other applications. Ultimately you are responsible for knowing the application process at the schools which you are applying to. Tufts requires that you send a separate form with your intent to apply ED and explains what applying ED means. This form must be signed by you the applicant, your GC and your parents.

While it is not unusual for a school to receive RD applications early, I have very serious doubts that they would have processed your application early with out the attached form. What I think happended is that yousaw how much money tufts was giving you and now you want to attend a school that is giving you a better deal (you got a full tuition scholarship at your EA school).

Yes, my dear you have put your self into quite a quandry. You have no ethical dilemna, because ethically you are suppose to rescind all of your admissions.

You need to step up and contact Tuftsl or you definitely risks having your admissions from BC and georgetown rescinded.
