Also, my friend did this with her ED agreement. She turned 18 very late 2015, after getting accepted ED. She was able to call the Admissions Office of her school, and claim she was an independent, and she got out of the ED binding agreement (it’s a legal thing I guess?) but still kept her acceptance. My mom recently got a new job (nothing I can do to stop it) and I’m now unsure about our financial situation (my brother has to go to college too…). In addition to this, I turn 18 before National Commitment Day (May 1). Since I’m legally an adult by then, and my family’s financial situation is now uncertain, if anything happens, is it possible to appeal for the repeal the binding aspect of the ED agreement?
Backing out of the ED school may not have been first choice, but notice there was no question about “what can I do to make Scripps affordable” but rather “is it possible to remove the binding nature of ED”
