Current economic situation affecting whether you will apply ED?

<p>For the last few months I've been eager to apply ED to my top-choice school, but given this economic crisis, my parents and guidance counselor are saying that it's wise to rethink this situation..</p>

<p>How many of you are in similar, compromising, situations?</p>

<p>Yeah, I wanted to apply ED to Columbia, but my guidance counselor strongly advised me against it because of my economic situation.</p>
