<p>My son tells the coaches that continue to call him that he has applied ED to a school, and tells them the academic/location reasons that drove that choice. He then tells them that their program is still really high on his list and that if he is not admitted to the ED school, he will let the coach know immediately. He has gotten back the most gracious, encouraging emails and calls in return. So-he hasn't burned any bridges, but he doesn't leave them wondering if he applied ED to THEIR school!</p>
