<p>It is NOT easy to "get out" of an ED contract for "financial reasons". Basically, you must show a marked financial hardship that occured AFTER the application was submitted to be released from ED.</p>

<p>They also blacklist your school, and you'll probably have a very hard time getting accepted to other schools.</p>

<p>I found this on another thread discussing the same topic.

<p>So what do you think about Early Decision to Notre Dame. </p>

<p>1860 SAT, a bit below average electives, Very Good but not Top 5 in class grades, taking hardest courses offered. With good essay and Recs, does it increase my " Extremely Slim" Chances so the chance is now "Not very good". ????</p>
