<p>I don’t see what the question is…if a student gets accepted to the ED school they will have a very short amount of time to make certain the finances are all in order. They will accept the ED offer and they will need to withdraw applications or decline admissions to all other colleges. That’s what ED is all about…that is what differentiates it from all other types of applications. It’s an agreement between one college and one student (plus the student’s parents and guidance counselor) that this one college is the student’s favorite above all others and the student will attend if accepted. If that student does not feel that way about an ED school right now, today, that student can call the college and change the application to regular decision. </p>
<p>I also don’t understand the point of not letting any rolling decision colleges EA colleges know you are not attending after the student is accepted by their ED college. That feels disingenuous to me.</p>
