<p>can i reject ED if the school don't give me enough financial aid?
the second question, is the accepting rate of ED higher than EA, are there any other advantages of the two policies.<br>
i am considering to choose EA or ED, can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>Typically, ED does have a higher admit rate (varying from school to school) than EA, but it is also more self-selective. Early decision you are up against extremely qualified applicants, so it might be difficult to get in if you are an average applicant. However, if you do get in/don't, you'll receive your decision very soon, and if you're deferred (once again, depending on the school policy) you still have another chance in regular decision. Of course, it is binding. It is possible to reject ED, but it is strongly, strongly discouraged.
I don't know enough about this, but you could be "black-balled" or something of the sort, so if you wanted to do ED, you'd have to carefully consider this. </p>
<p>Early action (restrictive or unrestrictive) also is like this, except you don't have to respond back until later also, and can wait to make the decision after you receive a financial aid package. If you think your profile will be stronger with senior year grades, then neither is too great of an option.</p>
<p>Thanks A Lot</p>
<p>I believe you can apply EA to more then one college. Ask GC just to make sure. It is non binding.You do not have to give your answer to a college until May 1.</p>
<p>ED is binding. You can only apply to one College ED. If you get accepted you are expected to go. Usually people that do not have to worry about how they are going to pay for college apply this way.</p>
<p>this has probably been asked before but is it possible to apply both EA and ED to different schools? i would attend the ED school if i got into both.</p>
<p>It depends upon the specific school. </p>
<p>For example, Boston College will not allow you to apply EA there if you are applying ED somewhere else, but you can apply EA to other colleges at the same time.</p>
