@pickpocket that usually doesn’t happen with ED since you have to accept/reject before any RD acceptances are sent out. So you need to have been accepted EA or rolling somewhere else, and I have no problem with someone turning down an ED offer for any other university that is indeed lower cost for them to attend. As mentioned before many times the NPC isn’t accurate and why should an applicant who is expecting something close to the NPC and then doesn’t get it be forced to attend? If the university won’t stand by the NPC then nor should the applicant.
