@lolacell Yep that’s a violation, but I don’t know if Princeton is aware of it or what steps they take. Would they call him out? That wouldn’t really accomplish much. Would they immediately defer him? Possible. Would they discard his app entirely? Who knows.
Possibly as well they don’t do anything except monitor it at a set number of institutions, ie Harvard, Yale, etc…
Correct. And if/when ND finds out, I would expect that acceptance to be rescinded. Same for Princeton if that person gets accepted.
@skieurope Oh, I didn’t even think to check if ND was restrictive also. What kind of protocol exists to check if people apply to multiple places? I figure HYP could collude to find out but surely they can’t ask every private school if anyone cross-applied…
wait, i applied to princeton scea and i just submitted my yale and stanford application today. you think there will be a problem?
@luckydoggy1234 If you applied RD to Yale and Standford, it’s not a problem. The rule is that you can’t apply SCEA or ED to more than one Ivy League. ~:>
whew
@skieurope Hm for ND (restrictive early) it says you can apply anywhere unless it’s early decision…
@lolacell right, but princeton’s scea specifically mentions that you cannot apply early to any private university.
@skieurope Applying to both Princeton SCEA and Notre Dame REA appears to violate only Princeton’s rules (“You may not apply to an early program at any other private college or university”), but not Notre Dame’s. I believe private universities only share their lists of accepted ED/SCEA students, so Princeton may very well rescind that student if s/he were accepted.
There is also a boy in my grade who applied to Princeton SCEA and Villanova EA. I wonder if Princeton will somehow find out.
Agreed. Perhaps ND will do nothing, but personally I would not have taken the chance, since I’m sure ND is not expecting any of its applicants to be violating rules for any school to which they are applying. I am rather surprised though that the GC did not catch this.
@Mel1997 lol
They told us on a tour somewhere (don’t remember where) that the #1 way schools find out someone is gaming the ED/scea system is from HS classmates telling the colleges because it’s not fair. Soooo… have at it, if you want to tell P.
eta - like @CautiousOptimist my DS is also waiting for U-Mich (and U-Mass) this week.
yiiiiiiiikes. so i attached my resume to my princeton app in the additional info part where they allowed you to upload a document. but apparently that was a really bad move because they don’t want resumes. aw jeez.
Disappointed that some GCs miss the details when the rest are held to them. My son was going to apply to his likely as an early safety and it turns out it is technically private. It is not a direct competitor to ivies or even a “little ivy” but because of it being private, he had to pass on the EA app.
~:> ~:> ~:> best wishes from Boston for some sleep!
I can’t concentrate on doing homework or anything with this looming over me. X_X
@eyesight2020 I also submitted my resume… How do you know that Princeton doesn’t want resumes?
@venncorna I know, right? I’m just trying to remember that keeping my grades up is important for any college I get accepted to, be it Princeton or anywhere else.
