<p>When financial aid is offered with ED, you withdraw your other apps after you accept the ED offer, not when you receive the offer. You are typically given something like two weeks to a month to decide if you want to accept the offer.</p>

vandy is an amazing school. i highly urge admitted students to attend. that is if you dont live in Nashville. vandy is like my second home. im there all the time. i need to branch out. but im still waiting till april 1st to see that financial aid offer. you all might see me at vandy yet!</p>
<p>I’m confused…wabamaccepted said they were accepted RD already. I thought the decision letters were not coming out until April 1. Am I missing something? Also, did EDII applicants already find out their decision?</p>
<p>minorities find out before RD. Mosaic.</p>
<p>and yes EDII did already find out their decisions.</p>
