<p>It;s not too late to withdraw now as you are supposed to do with an ED acceptance. Those are the rules, you know. You signed a contract as did your counselor and a parent. Those schools should be off the table at this point. WHat you are doing is unethical and if Columbia should find out, they will rescind their acceptance and that would be the end of your dilemmas. Right now, your only choice school is Columbia, if you want to go by the agreements you all signed. If your parents won’t pay for you to go there, then you need to request a gap year, and sit it out and think about it and maybe redo the college process again. </p>
<p>You are not being fair or ethical in the way you are acting in terms of one of the first contracts that you and the adults in your life all signed.</p>
