<p>i was looking at tcnj's website for the number of students who applied to, were accepted to, and went to the college under early deicison. i saw the number of ed kids who went to the college was lower than the # that got accepted as ed. i though ed was binding? why the discrepancy?</p>
<p>One can get out of it if there's a major emergency (such as developing an illness that keeps you from going away from home) or if one can not afford to go to the college.</p>
