<p>There was quite a bit on this topic (switching from RD to ED after LL received) a couple of years ago and parents and athletes found it a very helpful strategy to retain their one ED chance. However, we learned from experience this past Fall that this is not possible after the Common App overall in 2013. Until last year, one used to be able to go back into the application and switch a checked box from RD to ED. My son attempted to do this in November, at his coach’s request - but was unable to. Customer service at Common App confirmed that it was not possible after we sent multiple help requests about this while trying to switch it. We ended up having to create a pseudo application to another school just to get to the ED or RD prompt, then we printed out an ED agreement which we then sent to the college via the high school guidance office. The good news is, it all worked out and he was accepted ED at the college of his choice! Good luck to your son! PM me with questions if you’d like </p>
