Stanford or MIT?

<p>I disregarded the ‘single choice’ and got into MIT as well. what should I do next? Can stanford do anything if I go to MIT?</p>

2

<p>couldnt they sue you?</p>

3

<p>No, they can’t.</p>

<p>Because Stanford and MIT are not Ivies, they don’t know about what you did, probably.</p>

<p>Best you make a decision soon before they find out, though.</p>

4

<p>Top schools all share single-choice EA/ED applicant lists. It’s possible that Stanford and MIT both find out about this and rescind your acceptances.</p>

5

<p>lol phynix, ur funny</p>

6

<p>MIT isn’t SCEA, and may not rescind your acceptance even if they find out that you applied SCEA to Stanford. On the other hand, if Stanford finds out, they will. Luckily, because MIT isn’t SCEA, it’s quite possible they don’t share their EA list with other schools.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t suggest you talk about this on a public bulletin board, although I guess the damage has already been done.</p>

7

<p>It shows a serious lack of integrity, because you signed on the application that you’d follow Stanford’s policy. No college likes to see that.</p>

<p>Stanford wrote that they reserve the right to rescind admission/expel you from the school if they discovered something like this. I think MIT would too.</p>

<p>That’s pretty shameful. I hope you go to MIT.</p>

<p>o.O" why in the world would you do that?</p>

9

<p>Stanford and MIT will not find out because unlike the Ivies, there is no agreement to share information.</p>

<p>It doesn’t matter if either school finds out or not, because that doesn’t change the fact that you broke your word to Stanford. It would be different if it were an mistake and for some reason, you didn’t know what single choice meant. However, you said it was deliberate and intentional. Therefore, the only thing I would be worried about is your apparent lack of integrity in this matter.</p>

12

<p>i agree with bluephish. but if they find out, and the admissions officer who did the digging’s a bit tipsy/moody/irritated/heartbroken/very loyal to stanford or MiT , you are so screwed.</p>

<p>good luck.</p>

13

<p>haha actually, if they are in their right minds, you’re still probably screwed…</p>

14

<p>didn’t your parents and counselor have to sign? How could your school agree to this?</p>

15

<p>

Exactly my opinion ;)</p>

16

<p>dishonest man. very dishonest.</p>

<p>i feel bad for all the equally quailified kids who were deferred/rejected and who have been dreaming about stanford from the womb.</p>

17

<p>The OPs a scumbag. You took away spots of deserving canidates. </p>

<p>*Cheers to ruining people’s dreams</p>

<p>I hope karma bites you in the butt.</p>

</p>

<p>HEY, we don’t want him.</p>

19

<p>phynix, in the possible/likely event that Stanford figures this out, your college prospects are in the tubes.</p>

<p>I would recommend either coming clean with Stanford’s admissions office or declining the acceptance. They probably would be more understanding and less likely to shaft you. Plus, it’s the honest thing to do.</p>

20

<p>agreed ^. Coming clean sounds like the only way to go.</p>
