<p>FA is a crapshoot when people don’t plan or don’t understand how it works. Your RD strategy is one way to do it. </p>
<p>To answer your orginal question again…No. He’ll get the official decision along with the other RD students on 4/1. </p>
<p>If your concern is FA, then don’t apply ED unless you have your FA package. We got our FA package(s) estimates done before we considered applying ED to a few schools including D1s, Ivys and D3s…of course we only appiied to one. It wasn’t a big deal, and the estmates were coordinated with the pre-read. Both Ivys were just about the same FA.</p>
