<p>Does anyone know if you can apply to schools that have rolling admissions at the same time you apply to a school early decision? I know if you are accepted ED you must withdraw from other schools but wondered if you could apply to the ones who have rolling admits starting in Sept???</p>
<p>Yes, you may, and this is recommended. My D will be applying SCEA and rolling admissions. If she is accepted to rolling admissions school, she does not have to commit to them until May 2006. Plenty of time to withdraw should she be accepted to her SCEA school</p>
<p>SO if your D is accepted to all of them, then you can compare financial aid packages to see if the SCEA school is the one you can afford??? DO you think it’s the same with Early Decision? I thought ED was binding pending financial aid?</p>
<p>For SCEA schools, this is correct. The decision of the college is not binding for those schools that offer SCEA, but the student may apply to ONLY that school’s early program. He/she may apply to as many schools RD or Rolling Admissions as they wish and then may compare financial aid packages. This is NOT TRUE with ED, which is binding unless the student can PROVE (usually with documentation that the family’s financial situation has changed since the application was submitted) that the fin aid pkg offered will not permit him/her to attend.</p>
