<p>"Your next steps</p>

<li>You are expected to withdraw all applications that may have been filed with other colleges or universities (and file no further applications) in accordance with your request for Early Decision. Failure to do so will result in a withdrawal of this offer of admission"</li>

<p>all right guys! lets not withdraw our applications to other colleges and universities and file further applications to get out of our early decision contract!</p>
<p>I’ll reply to this post seriously even though it seems clear the OP is just joking around, lol:</p>
<p>The only real way to get out of an ED contract unharmed is for financial reasons. Normally you’re only supposed to take on ED if you’re prepared to accept whatever financial aid they may or may not give you, but some people still can’t deal with the resultant offer. No school can force you to attend if you can’t afford it.</p>
<p>But if you purposely try to get out of ED for the sake of simply getting out of ED, or if you don’t withdraw any other apps, you risk having other college applications rejected upon notification of ED breach. You may also get blacklisted if you choose to later attend as a transfer or graduate student.</p>
<p>ED is meant for people who wish to attend the school as their top choice. If you are accepted and then decide to breach the ED conditions, you’re grinding against the spirit of what ED is for, which ultimately results in negative consequences on your behalf. No, a school can’t force you to ever attend, even under ED. But that doesn’t mean schools have to accept you, either.</p>
