<p>Then why even ask the question? The parent isn’t really “charged” with anything, presumably the kiddo knows the right thing to do since presumably the kiddo is hoping beyond hope they get accepted to the ED college or they should have never applied ED. Heck the student can shoot out an e-mail with all the admissions officers in the blind copy spot. The e-mail could be one sentence…not really “difficult.” Again, it’s not too late right now to change an ED application to regular. That IS something a parent can be in charge of, getting the kiddo to change the app, if they think the kiddo is waffling about the ED college.</p>
