<p>After being deferred from my ED I school, I was so devastated. I was so sick and tired of the college application process that I prematurely submitted an ED II application to another school. Now that I look back, I should have never done this, and I wholly regret my decision. Although I like my ED II school, I do not like it enough to be to agree to a binding relationship. I would hate myself if I had to withdraw all my other applications because I was accepted at this school. What should I do? I think I should send an e-mail to the admissions officer at my ED II school and ask that I be changed to the RD pool, but I fear that would compromise my chance of being accepted at this school for RD.</p>
<p>You have done an admirable job on your own of summarizing your options:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Follow through on your EDII commitment to withdraw all other applications if accepted.</p></li>
<li><p>Contact the admissions office and ask to have your application moved to RD (if this is not possible, then withdraw the application).</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Option #2 likely will hurt your chances at the school (as you have noted), but it is the only honorable alternative to enrolling if accepted EDII. I suppse Option #3 might be to cross your fingers and hope that you get waitlisted at the EDII school but that seems like an irresponsible “do nothing” option.</p>
<p>If you do not want to be considered ED at this school, you have 2 options considering where you are in your interest:</p>
<p>1) E-mail/call the college and move your app into the RD pool.
2) Withdraw your application.</p>
<h1>1 is probably the best option for you at this point, even though it will signify a decrease in interest. If you’re willing to take this hit, it’s a better alternative than either: a) getting accepted ED and being forced to go and not wanting to, b) completely withdrawing.</h1>
<p>Or, you could take a risk and wait and hope to get deferred to RD, but that is much riskier than the other two options.</p>
<p>Send the email, and follow up with a phone call to be sure that the email was received. This happens to lots of students. Don’t worry about it. You won’t have an extra black mark against you in the RD round.</p>
<p>If this place is preferable to everything on your RD list, and you are certain that you can afford it, then keep your ED status.</p>
<p>I did the exact same thing earlier today. I called the admissions office with my guidance counselor, and they told me that I had to either withdraw my application or keep it in ED2. </p>
<p>I think it depends on the college…if you don’t me asking, where did you apply ED2?</p>
