What if the college that I applied ED accepts me but I changed my mind? Is there anyway I can revoke it? Thanks for helping.
<p>I think ED is like a contract. You're legally bound to go to that college if you get in ED. I could be wrong, but I think the only way to get out is if you can't pay.</p>
<p>If there is no way your family could pay the tuition, they <em>may</em> let you out of the contract so you can attend your state university. However, your GC will not be happy about this because it reflects badly on your high school (and it might adversely affect future applicants).</p>
<p>you could really screw up your grades so that they wouldn't let you in</p>
<p>hahaha drummerboy I don't know if getting rescinded is worth it just so you don't have to go to a college.</p>
<p>lol well drummerboy if u screw up most likely the other schools will not be fond of ur enrolling into college.</p>
<p>ED is a legal contract you enter, the only loophole being that you absolutely cannot afford it, which would be hard to prove.</p>
<p>And yes, your GC would probably murder you, because you will have messed things up for him, the school, and any future applicants to come.</p>
<p>This same question has been previously asked:</p>
<p>Screw the GC. if someone cannot pay for a school, then they can;t go. simple as that. The school holds all the cards. Give better financial aid or let them out of the ED contract. I would tell the GC that if he was so mad that I backed out of the contract, "then you pay for the school, other wise, deal with it." ANywayz, if you wanna back out of the contract for any other reason than inability to pay, I don;t think that is feasable.</p>
<p>If you know that you can't pay for the school, then don't apply ED! Apply RD and then compare the aid packages from the schools you're accepted into.</p>
<p>I am just wondering... does applying to ED give you a better chance for acceptance?</p>
<p>In a word, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!</p>
<p>In some schools, the acceptance rate for ED is higher than for RD. One reason given to explain this is that the ED pool is simply stronger (the applicants already have the grades and the ECs, and don't need to wait for their senior year for an extra boost). Another reason is that the ED pool is smaller than RD, so that makes the acceptance rate higher.</p>
<p>CDN_dancer, there could be unforeseen circumstances that affect one;s ability to pay for a college tuition.....</p>
<p>GreenDayFan, yes I know that something beyond the student's control could suddenly happen between senior year and first year of college. I was referring to the people that know ahead of time that they will need financial aid.</p>
<p>ok, gotcha :)</p>
<p>My dad said if you get a lawyer, you can get out of ED easily, I dont think he is right...but that is what he said.</p>
<p>You can get out of ED, It won't be easy and the college that you backed out of along with your GC has every right to inform other schools of your decision to back out of your commitment.</p>
<p>I'd worry about getting blacklisted.</p>
<p>Your GC might refuse to fill out other recs if you back out of your ED because it makes your school look bad.</p>
