<p>She obviously broke the terms of agreement and could have had her admission to Stanford revoked.</p>
<p>There are exceptions to Stanford’s restrictive early action. MIT’s EA, however, is not one of them.</p>

<p>For example, EA to public schools is fine; applying to MIT early would break the rules of Stanford’s SCEA.</p>
<p>IMO, she should have her admission revoked at both schools. Even though MIT is non-restrictive, it was disingenuous of her to apply to a restrictive EA in addition to MIT’s. That shows a serious flaw of character. The directions on the application are clear; there’s no way she could have misunderstood it (since you have to sign an agreement electronically).</p>

<p>Yes, that’d be a bad idea; in her case, she’d probably get her admission rescinded at Stanford, possibly MIT. But since Stanford’s and Columbia’s early programs are both restrictive, you’d have your admission rescinded from *both<a href=“definitely”>/I</a> if they found out.</p>
