<p>Probably stupid question butttt here it goes..</p>
<p>If you decide to apply Early Decision to a low reach school or any reach school just so you have a better chance to get in..and you already know the results for your other schools...and if you got in ED with that reach school..could you decide not to go that reach school even though you applied ED?</p>
<p>If that makes sense, then let me know haha</p>
<p>You cannot opt out of ED.</p>
<p>Seriously, I really do not think they are going to put you in jail or fine you for not attending. But, you should still take the agreement seriously. Make sure you would attend if you got accepted. If you are really unsure, do not apply ED. Simple as that.</p>
<p>The definition of early decision is that it is BINDING. You cannot opt out of early decision. Only apply early if you know the school is your first choice and you can handle it financially...</p>
<p>All right that's what i thought...thanks everyone except for the first remark</p>
<p>A friend of mine got out of a school ed, but he still had to pay the tuition for a year.</p>
<p>ohh wow that's rough...but understandable i guess?</p>
<p>Yeah probably.</p>
<p>Are you serious? How can they do that though? I know you and your parent signs it, but is it really that legally binding? Can they actually sue for that money? That does not sound right to me. The ED agreement does not state any monetary penalties for non-cooperation.</p>
<p>They have legal right to do so. They are, after all, allowing you a unique opportunity to find out your admission status early.</p>
