Who's planning on applying EA or ED to the US?

<p>First of all, Cornell has almost no FA for us so unlike you can afford full tuition I would not apply ED there because it could be a headache if you get in and don’t get enough aid.</p>

<p>However, I did read somewhere else on CC that is was actually quite easy to get out of ED. I don’t remember the thread though.</p>

<p>It is indeed easy if the school does not make it affordable for you; you say thanks but no thanks (look for a reply card in the package, or call), and apply RD elsewhere.</p>

<p>There’s plenty of cause for a headache, though. You’ve just been admitted to your dream school, but you can’t afford to go, so you likely won’t be in such a good mood. :(</p>

<p>Have a look at <a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/04/education/edlife/strategy.html[/url]”>http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/04/education/edlife/strategy.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>^Thanks! I am relieved.</p>

44

<p><em>hurries in</em> Count me in! Canadian citizen here applying for Stanford SCEA :D</p>

45

<p>U of Michigan EA over here</p>

46

<p>fledgling, me too!</p>

<p>STANFORD SCEA!!! :D</p>

47

<p>Columbia College ED!!!</p>

48

<p>Is formal rank based on cumulative or just grade 11?</p>

49

<p>^good question</p>

50

<p>my school doesn’t even rank ><
And count me out of the ED pool T.T</p>

51

<p>About ED: How are you guys so sure about it? </p>

<p>I still cannot decide. I hate to not be able to at least try Princeton. On top of that, I cannot compare aid, assuming I would be accepted into a multiple.lol I know the deadline is nearing. I have numbers and documents ready, but am still thinking whether to ED or not. I probably would not ED…or would I? Sigh!!</p>

52

<p>lol prjiki I am going through the same torturous thought process. On one hand, I want to show my interest in the school and possibly enjoy early acceptance… On the other hand, what if I could get accepted to more than 1 school in the RD round! It’s hell…</p>

53

<p>EA! best of both worlds</p>

54

<p>Good for you, Viggy. I have not been able to find the ‘right’ EA school. </p>

<p>I might end up sending applications to all the RD shcools really early and hope that it raises my chances… or not.LOL ‘itisinreach’ will understand what I am saying here!</p>

<p>@PrincetonDreams: I thought you were def gonna try Princeton. :)</p>

55

<p>prjiki, have you looked into Duke or Chicago or such schools? However, I think if you really like Cornell you should consider ED (even though it’s now crunch time) because you can always break the deal if you don’t get enough FA. I HIGHLY doubt they can FORCE you to attend. How could that legally happen and what school would pursue such a course of action? (going to court, etc.)</p>

56

<p>

</p>

<p>Just what I thought. ED is too big a commitment for me.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I am applying to Stanford under SCEA, which means I can still apply to Colleges in the RD round if I am admitted.</p>

57

<p>^ Oh wow! Best of luck, fellow SCEA-er :D</p>
