can't decide whether or not to apply e.d. to brown?

Applying to College

<p>I don't really think I'll get in if I apply regular decision though i supposed there still would be a tiny sliver of a chance. and it would be my first choice school if i got in. the only problem is financial aid. though i've heard if you can't afford the financial aid package they give you then you can decline and go elsewhere? i have my application ready in case i do decide to apply early but idkkk. there's no way they can force you to go there with inadequate aid right? because i don't know if you'd have to prove it insufficient based on something like EFC which is always ridiculous. anyway any advide would be appreciated!</p>

<p>If you need to compare FA packages, then don’t ED. Sure you can turn down B if their FA package isn’t enough. But how will you know how good it is as you won’t have seen FA packages from other schools? </p>
