<p>I am contemplating apply ED1 to GW because I had an amazing visit last month and the opportunities are astounding. My brother attends Davidson College and does not think it's a good idea because I will be closing my options elsewhere if I get accepted. He is very supportive of me and I know he has my best interest in mind. What are the major reasons a person should I apply ED1? I don't want my brother telling me "I told you so" if I get in and change my mind... ;) I want to figure it out ASAP so that I have no regrets about not apply ED1!</p>
<p>Due to my interest of studies I myself know how the opportunities are astounding at George Washington University but was unable to apply as ED ( well at least ED one). If the school is your top choice and you can afford to take out any loan thrown at you then why not apply ED1?</p>
<p>the reason why you should consider ED: (1) if you get in, you are done with. Less stress with all the other applications; (2) If your stats are borderline, ED gives you much better chance. The acceptance rate for RD was something like 37%. For ED, it was something like 58%.</p>
<p>The MAJOR CON: (1) no room for comparing and negotiating for need based financial aid or merit award; (2) you may be able to get into an even better school, and you may change your mind.</p>
<p>Your choice…</p>
