Early Decision advantage due to economy?

Applying to College
1

<p>Do you think that people applying early decision will have an advantage this year, due to the economy? Are less people applying early decision?</p>

2

<p>I think if anything, people are NOT applying ED due to the economy, because of financial aid packets.</p>

3

<p>exactly. So less people will apply E.D. and will this be an advantage for those of us who are?</p>

4

<p>ok my question might not be clear</p>

<p>for those of us who are not in a tight financial situation at the moment and are applying ED, will this be an advantage?</p>

5

<p>There might be at a lot of schools. I think at the very top schools, though, with very generous aid without student loans... those schools might actually have more students applying ED.</p>

6

<p>what about small LACs?</p>

<p>DI school will be floaded with ED from students with special hooks such athlets, etc. ...
In any case. Do you think that school could learn that student applied ED to other school and take it to consideration during regular decision?</p>
