Can you get Out of Early Decisions if FBS schools offer scholarships??

<p>I wanted to know if you could get out of a ED IVY deal IF another school offered more FA money, or a FBS school came in late and offered athletic or academic scholarship?? HELP PLEASE!!!!!</p>

<p>No. When you commit to ED, you commit to the school unless the FA offer is completely unworkable. A better scholarship offer from somewhere else does not fall in that category. Plus, once you have the ED acceptance and see the FA offer, you have a very short time period to withdraw any other applications, so in most cases you don’t even get to see the other offers anyway. If the net price calculator result for your ED school does not look like something you can live with, don’t apply ED.</p>

<p>If you don’t like the Ivy more than you’d like the money, don’t apply ED.</p>

<p>At the Ivy I went to, they told us that ED benefits legacies much more than other students.</p>

<p>But I don’t think submitting your application with the help of the coach to get a likely letter would amount to an ED commitment - anyone else know this?</p>

<p>Admissions generally require that an athlete apply ED before a Likely Letter is issued.</p>

<p>I know they have to submit a completed application to admissions to get a read, but I did not know that it would automatically be considered under ED rules (exclusive).</p>

<p>A complete application is generally not required for an academic pre-read.</p>

<p>The decision to apply ED rests solely with the applicant, however most admissions committees require an ED application before they will issue a LL for an athlete. I would ask the coach what the admission committee policy is for issuing a LL.</p>
