<p>Get your parents involved in this conversation pronto. If they have a pretty good relationshp they may be able together to help you figure out what kind of budget they actually have to spend on college which might guide your decision to apply ED or not. Do not go into this blindly, make sure you and at least one of your parents is actively involved and can guide you regarding ED.</p>
<p>One reason why I don’t think I should apply RD is because there would be more competitive applicants… and I’d probably not get in</p>
<p>You have a MUCH bigger concern. There’s no point in getting accepted if you have no idea how the costs will get covered or how much your CP and NCP will pay.</p>
<p>Thank you guys for your suggestions and comments. It really helps.</p>
