I think most GC’s are going to be non-cooperative in helping with any apps after an ED acceptance. It still reflects poorly on them and future applicants to the jilted school.
I guess if you already have your apps out for RD and leave them in maybe you can get away with it, as long as the RD schools already have everything they need and don’t want mid-year grade reports. And there are no younger siblings that need help from the GC in the future.
Our GC’s have very few kids apply ED and only a few apply to selective schools at all. However, when S19 applied ED they went over the committment with him face to face, and sent me an email that I had to acknowledge basically ensuring that if he was accepted ED that he was done, period. They wouldn’t process his ED app until those 2 things happened. This is in addition to the form we already signed agreeing that ED is binding. I have to think that if our GC’s take it that seriously, very few GC’s would be willing to be part of this.
So while personally I would be thrilled if this was the death of ED, I don’t think it will be. As stated above, the changes are a plus to full pay students and a detriment to everyone else. The rich get richer.
