Let’s say you applied ED to one school, and RD to a bunch of others. You don’t withdraw you other apps, and in april you find out that you got into a better school…
how can you get out of the ED agreement?
<p>You can't. By applying ED, you contractually agree to sell your soul...not really, but it's close to that. You can't get out of the ED agreement because you "got into a better school". And you already violated the ED AND RD agreements...so, what the ED school will do is send a letter to EVERYONE of your RD schools, and the RD schools, along w. the ED school, will happily rescind your acceptance.</p>
<p>What she says is true. You had best be withdrawing or its going to be community college for you.</p>
<p>ahaha also, if u violate it, the ED school can NOT accept you, and you end up .....with no university to go to. but ifyou applied to a NON-binding ED, then its fine. but im not sure if non-binding ed exists anymore.</p>
<p>There isn't a "non-binding" ED...the whole pt of ED is to bind you...and lock you up. The non-binding is what they call, "EA".</p>
<p>theres also non-binding ED too, an example is university of denver. might not be a TOP school that everyone knows about, but its just one example.</p>
<p>could you pay them a years worth of tuition or something?</p>
<p>No +characters.</p>
<p>Why the hell would you do that Gappin? Are you ignorant?</p>
<p>Gappin-</p>
<p>What kind of idea is that? How do you even think of something like that?</p>
<p>Its not a bad idea... Wait, yes it is.</p>
<p>I don't plan on doing this this -- I was rejected ED. I was just thinking about it.</p>
<p>If you look up some common data sets, you'll see that the number of people who were accepted ED and the number of ED acceptee's who enrolled do not match up.</p>
<p>I'm sure you're all good and honest people, but there are kids out there who do apply ED to more than one school. There is clearly a way to get out of it, even if it's by paying a nice chunk of change.</p>
<p>Well, I guess that's dartmouth...check out Penn's...it's like (kids accpeted ED: 1221)/ (kids who matriculate ED: 1221)...so that's 100%...as you can see, at least it applies to some schools out there.</p>
<p>I guess there are some kids who do it, but it's dishonest and furthermore a stupid risk.</p>
<p>I've asked my guidance counselor about this sort of thing, and he says that it IS possible, but an absolutely terrible thing to do. Not only will you risk not getting into college at all, but you'll screw over everyone who might apply to that college after your class graduates b/c that college will hate your high school.</p>
<p>Also, when accepted ED(at least in my case), I must submit a deposit by Jan. 15 if I plan on going there. If the fin. aid is not good enough, I must take out my app. soon. So, I could still apply RD to some schools, but I would have to take out my ED acceptance.</p>
<p>Aren't those Dart figures % of the applicant pool that enrolled via ED?</p>
