<p>i still want to go there but theyre being wierd because i live in california. can they actually call them up and tell them to take it out? i dont think they would be able to cuz..</p>
<ol>
<li>its a committment (i told my dad)</li>
<li>its already sent and they're prolly reviewing it</li>
<li>if its someones first choice, then they would be sure that where they want to go so admission probly would care to waste time and take it out.</li>
</ol>
<p>i hope at least they cant do that..and </p>
<ol>
<li>my rents dont have my common app id</li>
</ol>
<p>oh and they cant say we cant afford it…becuz NYU would probly want documentation and i know how much my parents make. $200,000 is what my mom said and she said she cant afford it! before i asked her. ugh. but anyways they cant use that excuse lol cuz i know some ppl take their app out if they dont qualify for financial aid.</p>
<p>Didn’t your parents already sign the ED Agreement form…? And it’s really not up to you to say your parents can afford NYU. Their income might be above and beyond the cost of tuition, but there are other living expenses you have to take into consideration. It’s their money, not yours and as much as it sucks they’re going to spend it wherever they want to.</p>
<p>Who are you to say what your parents can and can’t afford? Honestly. </p>
<p>None of your reasons are very coherent. If they REALLY wanted to, they could probably call admissions and ask them to pull it. But that’s just my opinion.</p>
<p>All they would have to do is to let NYU know that they have decided not to support your ED decision. You could change ED to RD or withdraw before ED decision comes out.</p>
<p>they made that up so i wouldnt apply there. they told me to apply to pepperdine or standford or usc…which are all private. and cost about the same amount.</p>
<p>yes ED shows commitment…I think it’ll hurt you chance to pull your app out without a good reason. is it possible to talk to your parents about ED again?</p>
<p>Perhaps they told you they can’t afford it because they have decided it may not be in your best interest and that is something they think you will better deal with, than to say, perhaps, that they don’t consider your maturity level at a place where they want you to be located across a continent. </p>
<p>I have no clue of course, but your responses make it sound a bit that way. What they earn, and what they can afford, are things that one cannot possibly understand in your position. I have even shown my child an expense/income sheet, but they are just numbers. You don’t know the responsibility of making sure they have the mortgage payment each month, or the money for a sibling’s band participation payment. Medicines, orthodontia and gifts. Travel to NYU, and theatre tickets while you’re there. Food that you buy then don’t eat, subway cards. A ballooon mortgage payment, your car insurance. Perhaps they are unsure about their FUTURE income…as are we all in this economy. </p>
<p>However, that said…since you’re being offered a chance to apply to Stanford (et al)…I hope that you will do so, be happy that your parents care for you and are going to pay for your education (many parents do not and/or cannot). </p>
<p>You are still a minor, and they CAN “use that excuse” if they want. </p>
<p>I can’t answer your original question, unfortunately. Unless they signed the form, I don’t know the legalities. But, does it really matter at this point? If they want to withdraw it, because they won’t pay for you to go there, then your admittance won’t matter. They can simply say they can’t afford the financial package offered. It’s too bad everyone didn’t come to this conclusion earlier, but…it’s a process. Sometimes we have to get in the middle of things before we see them clearly. </p>
<p>Good luck to you, regardless of where you’re fortunate enough to attend college.</p>
<p>Your tirade shows your immaturity. Nobody owes you a spot at NYU. You obviously have to settle your issue with your parents before going to any school.</p>
<p>I agree with hsseniorlooking…I don’t see how the ED form was signed without your parents consent, but you need to get your head straight.</p>
<p>If your application reflects your demeanor on these forums, then I don’t think being accepted into a binding program will be an issue.</p>
