<p>Well…in my opinion…the trade off for your perceived edge in admittance is that Lafayette would EXPECT you to accept their offer of enrollment and financial aid based on THEIR calculation of your need. </p>
<p>I don’t think you can have it both ways…either you agree to go and accept their offer…or you would need to pull your ED acceptance agreement and apply elsewhere.</p>
<p>If you have significant financial aid issues, I would say you should not apply ED…but that is my opinion, and clearly it’s not shared by the bunches of students on this forum who are now grappling with less financial aid than they hoped for with an ED acceptance.</p>
