<p>yes impero, that’s what i said; “someone who was deferred wouldn’t have to be.”
it doesn’t matter which app i am, the point is all spots will be filled.</p>
<p>as for the reason why i haven’t rescinded and was trying to show how it doesn’t that adversely affect you, well, it’s because my mom might lose her job, and so she told me to not withdraw from my schools yet in case we can’t afford cornell.</p>
<p>My parents want me to keep the app in to see the fin. aid offer if I am accepted. They may want to contact Dartmouth if there’s any notable difference.</p>
<p>Ok, well that’s a legit reason, but something tells me you are still obligated to inform cornell (and probably both schools)…also, isn’t chicago more expensive?</p>
<p>i’ve read something similar here about the ED lists, but isn’t that only for ivies with ED? so they can find out if people were unfairly signing up for more than one ED?</p>
<p>Yeah, there have been others who have been accepted to ED schools who have also been accepted to UChicago EA.</p>
<p>By not withdrawing all of your other applications you are breaking your ED contract with Cornell. That could result in Cornell rescinding your acceptance.</p>
<p>From the Cornell website:
“Remember that an early decision application is a commitment. You can apply under early decision to only one college or university. If you’re accepted at Cornell, you must withdraw any applications sent to other schools and send your acceptance deposit by the deadline in early January.”</p>
<p>In addition to that, it’s just plain selfish to not open up the spot for someone else as soon as you can.</p>
<p>If the 3( I think) people mentioned here did rescind their application in time, then 3 people are taken out of the EA/RD pool. Given a rough number of 6600 EA apps, and say 25% will be taken, then 1650 people are admitted,
. By lowering the pool, three more people can be taken into the EA pool- about .4% more people are taken. That might be small, but it counts.</p>
<p>i have no idea what uchicago’s pricetag is; my mom just wants me to hold off from withdrawing from any school.</p>
<p>i am 99% sure i will be at cornell next year. however, my mom wants me to just do this as a precaution. not specifically uchicago, but all my colleges.</p>
<p>committeelady, did you read what i typed?
cornell also said it was fine if i wait on withdrawing</p>
<p>Thank you so much for the info!!! i ve been checking my mailbox like every ten mins these days and it s good to know the exact date! 
Good luck everyone!!</p>
<p>Yeah, this is why I’m worried that my withdraw didn’t go through. I don’t want to take the space of a student who actually does want to go to Chicago if I were to get accepted to Chicago. I am also mildly paranoid that somehow none of my withdrawals go through and Penn would rescind me…I’m a worrier.</p>
<p>If you didn’t end up having the funds to go to Cornell, would you still be obligated to attend? Seems like it becomes pretty mucky. </p>
<p>But I do agree, you should follow the rules and withdraw from all your other schools anyways. 4% is a decent change…</p>
<p>Actually, you only have to withdraw if you are not applying for financial aid.</p>
<p>If you do not have the funds to pay for Cornell and they do not offer it to you, you are released from the early decision bind.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can’t negotiate with an ED school for finaid using another school’s finaid offer. You should withdraw your apps or wait on D’s finaid results and make a decision using those–not by comparing D’s offer to Chicago’s. Besides which, D’s is likely to be comparable or higher.</p>
<p>EA+ED is allowed, although once you are accepted into ED, then you are bound to that school. However, it seems to me that you can at least still wait and see the UChi EA result, although widthrawing sound a more ‘ethical’ thing to do.</p>
<p>EA+SCEA is not allowed. I read in Yale board one kid applied Yale SCEA and UChi EA, saying that he/she would wait until Friday to see both Yale and UChi results simultaneously. I went back trying to find that post again, but it was buried under the more than 111 pages of SCEA hopefuls thread.</p>
<p>good luck everybody!!! gosh, being accepted would be such a relief… I really dont think its gonna happen though</p>
