yes/no question regarding EA

Post by lsatprepguy » Fri Jul 06, 2012 5:19 pm

Does applying EA have the same effect on merit scholarships as applying early decision (as in making it unlikely to receive any)?
If it matters, I'm asking this with regards to Cornell in particular.

same. The binding aspect is where you lose scholarship leverage.
