<p>So... back in February, some girl from my school got into NYU via EDII. Today, I found out that she got into a school RD (which was pretty surprising because some of my friends and I got waitlisted and we have much better stats). If I'm not mistaken, wasn't she supposed to withdraw all of her apps back in February after getting accepted to her ED school? Can she get rescinded for this? This is really ridiculous and unfair because she's literally stealing a spot from the RD school I'm talking about and god knows how many more schools she applied to.</p>
<p>I’m not exactly sure, but I think you don’t HAVE to withdraw your applications because you still might not be able to go to your ED school if they don’t give you enough aid.</p>
<p>You don’t have to withdraw any of your apps. Yes, ED is binding, but there is a possibility of breaking out of it because of an insufficient amount of aid.</p>
<p>Applicants have a 2-3 week window to determine if the aid is enough though. From the NYU website:</p>
<p>“NYU’s Early Decision programs are, in fact, binding agreements, whereas if an applicant is offered admission and provided with a financial aid package that enables the student to enroll, the student must withdraw any previously submitted applications and accept NYU’s admission offer – roughly within 2-3 weeks of receiving an admission offer. Students are then restricted from filing any new applications as well. Providing that a student has completed the Early Decision Financial Aid application online, the student will be provided with a financial aid estimate soon after the student is offered admission. Again, admitted students will have roughly 2-3 weeks to review their financial aid package before confirming their enrollment at NYU.”</p>
<p>Sometimes accepted ED’ers will stroke their egos by seeing what other schools they get into besides their binding ED choice. Of course, if caught they can be rescinded/blacklisted, but it’s rare for people to get caught.</p>
<p>I wonder how many people do this. I just saw another thread about a guy who was admitted ED to Penn bragging about other schools where he was accepted (UC schools).</p>
<p>Unless you apply ED to any Ivy, where they share such information.</p>
<p>Who cares… it doesnt affect you.</p>
<p>@vIkIngboy11 - it does affect him! So many schools only accept a certain number of applicants from a high school, especially if the college and/or high school is particularly small.</p>
<p>Someone in my school did the same thing! He was accepted ED2 to Middlebury (doesn’t need financial aid, if that matters) and was accepted to Swarthmore RD (where I wanted to go!) Not only did this probably screw me over (I wasn’t accepted), but he is trying to get out of his ED agreement (will screw over anyone from my school who ever wants to go to Middlebury…)</p>
<p>So annoying and inconsiderate. I hope both of these offers are rescinded…</p>
<p>“Not only did this probably screw me over (I wasn’t accepted)”</p>
<p>That the other kid got in has nothing to do with your not being admitted. Had Swarthmore really, truly wanted you, you would have been admitted. Period.</p>
<p>I’m hearing that more and more people are doing this…especially if their other schools are state schools or lesser privates that don’t know/care about ED at other schools.</p>
<p>For this reason and others, I really dislike ED. EA is ok, but ED has too many problems associated with it.</p>
<p>I was admitted under ed2 too but UC schools admitted me recently though I wrote withdraw email late Feb. Sometimes the system’s too large and AOs are busy, so maybe not your classmate’s fault. Since you’re on the WL, you still have chance of getting off if eligible enough,coz she would eventually enroll NYU. After all,nobody will ‘screw’ you, since the place is not granted to you at the beginning.</p>
