<p>So Steven’s provides his ED II decision by Feb. 15. Typically colleges give a pretty short window if you want to decline the ED slot because you can’t pay the cost after financial aid info is received (the only reason he can decline). Looks like that date is March 12 at Stevens. Are you saying he will have heard back from his other schools by then? He can’t just put off the Steven’s decision until he hears from the service academies. For example, the Naval Academy does not commit to notify everyone until April 15.</p>
