<p>No apparently it was a douch.ebag comment that is wholly inappropriate. Go slap yourself 10 times johnny.</p>
<p>"And I'm not applying ED because financial aid is a factor and Pomona doesn't give merit aid."</p>
<p>"I really seriously thought about applying ED, but decided against it for financial reasons."</p>
<p>Schools hate it when students don't apply ED because they're afraid the FA offer might not be enough and then feel trapped.</p>
<p>THERE IS NO DANGER IN APPLYING TO YOUR FAVORITE SCHOOL ED IF YOU NEED FA.</p>
<p>Please tell your friends.</p>
<p>It says right on the ED agreement: </p>
<p>"Should a student who applies for financial aid not be offered an award that makes attendance possible, the student may decline the offer of admission and be released from the Early Decision commitment."</p>
<p>A good reason not to apply ED is if you want to compare FA offers from various schools, but then you're probably not obsessed with one school!</p>

<p>I was once obsessed with attending NYU, then GWU thenn Sarah Lawrence, then Wellesley. The funny part is, I applied to NONE of the above :). Oh how things change. </p>
<p>now, i'm not obsessed per say but i'd be quite content at any one of the following colleges:</p>
<p>Union College
Gettysburg College
URichmond
Lafayette College</p>
<p>NYU</p>
<p>because of it's traditional college campus, green lawns, butterfly gardens.</p>
<p>NOT... because i love the city, the village, and loved the open house =D</p>
