@9241libom, I was just reacting to your comment that it is unethical of the school to expect ED students to be full-pay. There is nothing unethical about the colleges expecting full-pay students from families that make $280k/year, and if the student/family is not willing to pay, given the results of the NPC, then they should not be applying ED.
ETA, and if it’s a “parent-student issue”, that should have been worked out BEFORE both parties signed the ED agreement.
