<p>what happens when someone has signed th ED, buuut they REALLY don't want to go there. how does that person break the contract, and what are the penalties? And does being underage count?
I heard that students who get accepted and don't go, have to pay tuition and could never go there.</p>
<p>You have to write a serious letter saying, "Sorry, I really don't want to go, don't hate me, please." If it's before they have looked at the app/made the decision, it's not quite as bad; you just say, "I'd like to be switched to Reg. Decision. But if they accept you and you break the contract . . . ooh. Bad things happen. It goes on your record, and other schools you apply to/will apply to know about it, and it just is an ugly stain on your integrity, in the minds of admissions committees.</p>
<p>Theres only 1 way. Their financial offer cant match your family's needs. In other words, your family goes bankrupt and you cant afford it and they dont offer enough scholarship</p>
<p>hum, interesting, thanks a loooooot! I'll see what happens.</p>
<p>You should listen to Minervamoon. The decisions have not been made yet so you have time to call/email and write them that you wish to switch your application to REGULAR decision 1. You will find out your admissions status at the end of January. This is non binding and gives you plenty of time to decide between UF and FSU. Do it now.</p>
<p>UF > FSU.</p>
<p>enough said : )</p>
<p>Ruo - the OP was admitted to an special and amazing program at FSU for underpriveledged applicants, unparalleled at UF. He gets tuition, room, board, free tutoring, mentoring...I don't remember it all but you can check out the discussion about it on the FSU forum. He needs to get out of his UF early decision contract now before the decisions are made and he is bound to UF. There are many factors that go into choosing a college...an important one is finances and opportunities. The c.a.r.e. program at FSU is worth his looking into. He needs to be regular decision at UF so that he is able to choose on his own.</p>
