<p>get rid of ED but keep EA.</p>
<p>ED is unfair to students who can't commit financially to a school, but having EA gives another opportunity to apply if you get denied everywhere.</p>
<p>er...
then wats the point of EA.....</p>
<p>EA helps the student by giving him/her an acceptance (probably at a top-choice college) early in the game, so they don't have to worry about not getting accepted anywhere at all</p>
<p>EA helps the college by giving them more time to court the student by sending materials, thus raising the college's yield numbers</p>
<p>I think ED does both of those things better, but comes with the big disadvantage of favoring rich applicants</p>
<p>EA is going to be the new RD in 10 years.</p>
<p>Keep EA!!
I dont really care about ED</p>
<p>keep ED!</p>
<p>if you know where you want to go and can afford it, why shouldn't you be able to apply and be bound to go there. it makes it easier because if you get into your top choice in december, you don't have to send out the rest of your applications and waste money on applicaiton fees.</p>

Cornell specifically says that if you are accepted ED, but cannot afford it, you can withdraw from the contract.</p>
<p>a lot of school are like that, but most will work with you and give you a lot of financial aid.</p>
<p>most just have stingy parents
the ones that REALLY cant afford it but has really good grades, schools WILL help</p>
<p>I hate EA and want it to die. It puts way too much stress into the college process and is basically a back door for athletic recruits, legacies, special cases, and a few token merit kids</p>
