Withdrawing ED?

I was accepted ED but did not receive enough financial aid and now I’m not sure I’ll be able to attend. I’m taking a gap year and there is still a chance that I can go in the end, but I’m just not sure. Do you think that I could be released from my ED commitment but still have the school hold my spot in case it turns out that I can go? Thanks

I’m not the best person to ask, as I have not had any personal experiences, but I’m pretty sure that’s NOT how that works. Ask your school directly, but I’m almost certain that they will not be holding any spots for you if you don’t commit by a specific deadline. Hurry up and ask, because time is ticking.
