Poll: to do ED or not

Applying to College

<p>I am not talking about a specific school.
But just Early Decision in general.</p>

<p>I know some students know their first choice.
But many do not, but apply ED anyway.</p>

<p>In your opinion, why should no student apply ED, even if they believe it is their first choice?</p>

<p>Just wanted to hear some opinions. By the way, if you disagree, tell me why.</p>

<p>ED should absolutely avoided by families who can’t pay full freight. Your POLL results will generate what? C’mon. what will you do if the numbers are 30-70 or 80-20???</p>

<p>How scientific or even useful is this thread? Ask a real question or better yet, read the many other threads by people who have asked thoughtful questions on ED yes or no.</p>

<p>Agree. ED is just a really, really bad idea unless you are comfortably full-pay, in which case, go for it.</p>

<p>I agree with the above. If you’re applying for financial aid, don’t apply ED. If you’re comfortably full-pay, only apply ED if it’s your top choice.</p>
