<p>I’m terrified for him. He was born and educated outside of the U.S. and worked his way up in the company for 20 years; I don’t think this competitive job market will be cutting him a break. The company is continuing its operations in Montreal (I live in NY) so he’s trying to get a job there, but living and commuting from there will be difficult for my mom and I, financially and otherwise.
I did call the school, and I left a message with a fin aid person that the office forwarded me to. However, the two people I did speak to basically made it sound like a breach of God’s trust if I were to break from the ED agreement, even under the circumstances. They were also very vague about the consequences, if there are any, and that’s something I’m really worried about.
Ha, whether I have a chance, I’m not sure. I’m in love with the school, and I was really putting all my heart into the app. I did an overnight, interview, supplements, and I’ve been waiting for this for a while. Would it be selfish to still apply ED if I really think I wouldn’t be accepted RD?
If I were admitted (slim chances anyway), it would be financially difficult but I don’t know about impossible. I’m trying to learn as much as I can about loans right now, but I’m really confused and annoyed that my parents are telling me to just “go ahead an apply ED,” it’s just not adding up. I wanted to take these few days to perfect my application, but oh well haha…</p>
<p>Thanks to your responses so far, it’s helping me clear my thoughts a lot!</p>
