<p>you get your EDII results in february (RD is april), and youre making a contract that you will DEFINITELY attend the school once your get accepted.</p>

<p>EAII…With the exception that you can turn down admittance if FA package is not adequate. from the Swarthmore web site.</p>

<p>Is there an admissions advantage?</p>

<p>Toolmaker, not that I doubt the validity of that statement, but do you know where on the website it says that?</p>

<p>it’s on the ED Agreement that is required</p>
