Cancel Early Decision for a much lesser school?

<p>^^^</p>

<p>Did I miss the statement that the parents would rather spend the money on a trip to Hawaii?</p>

<p>What’s probably more likely is the parents have “done the math” (albeit late) and have realized that spending $200k plus during the next 4 years is not a good idea…perhaps one parent’s job is iffy, or perhaps a major home repair is needed (new roof) or something else…or perhaps the student’s recent school effort is not demonstrating the need to spend $200k.</p>
