<p>The initial post in this thread was more than rather odd. OP should have been agonizing about whether it would be ethically acceptable to break the Wesleyan ED agreement when he has the money to pay. That was entirely absent from OP’s musings. In fact, OP should have been already done agonizing about it and reached some decision long before starting this thread. Either bowing to the need to pay and accepting the ED decision and withdrawing son’s other apps, or then notifying Wesleyan that finances don’t permit and withdrawing son’s app from there. Don’t even need to look at other threads where OP posted to see oddness. I’m not attuned to the college’s RD release dates so it took a couple of days for me to notice it.</p>
<p>Good of you to take up the OP’s cause. You are pretty involved emotionally. You identify with OP?</p>
