<p>Is it even possible to voluntarily back out of an ED acceptance?</p>
<p>It's not illegal...it just looks bad, and it reduces the chances of future applicants from your school...if you're already in at that other college, and esp if it's a state college, I doubt they'd care much...</p>
<p>Yes, but it's only ethical if the fin. aid is abysmal and not at all what you expected (and in most of these cases I imagine they'd increase the package).</p>
<p>Oh I didn't mention anything about ethics. I think it's ethically wrong and selfish. :)</p>

Punctuating that with a smiley face (:)) was such an insane juxtaposition that I nearly died with laughter. Well, first I did a massive double-take, then I began gasping for air.... but you know what I mean.</p>
<p>:) :) :) :) Look, here are some friends for the poor improperly used smiley face. (Or at least an unconventionally used one...)</p>
<p>No no it wasn't a contradiction, it was BALANCE. mhmm
Just like, "hey I'm criticizing you but you're still my friend" lol
:p :o :) :cool: :confused:
ah i love faces</p>
<p>I've actually used that strategy at times, so I understand :D Haha.</p>
<p>Me too, but for some reason it just struck me as really funny....</p>
<p><em>shrugs shoulders</em></p>
<p>lol, gracilisae, when are you gonna join the Members club?</p>
<p>Seriously! You need to get that post count up there! Only 107 to go.....</p>
<p>105 now.... Just getting from 800 to 900 has taken forever. <em>exaggerated sigh of exasperation</em></p>
<p>"exaggerated sigh of exasperation"</p>
<p>exa-, exa-, exa- what? lol. :) <---and no, that wasn't a "kiss-and-make-up" smiley, don't worry.</p>
<p>Theoretically though, isn't it ED-"illegal" to be accepted somewhere else anyway? Can't they revoke admission over that?</p>
<p>Not if it's rolling admissions. That's okay.</p>
<p>Not if it was rolling admissions.</p>
<p><em>jinx</em> zante, pass a coke to phil :)</p>
<p>Edit: and yes, "coke" can be any soft drink here in the South. Good times.</p>
<p>lol, what kinda coke, kebree? ;)
<em>passes coke to phil</em></p>
<p>coke flavor of your choice. [or phil's, rather]</p>
<p>Why, Coca-Cola, of course. What other kind of coke could you possibly be referring to? ;)</p>
<p>I'll take my little bag of pretty white powder and be going now :D</p>
<p>And hey, at least we don't say "pop," katia. 'cause I can't stand it when people say that.</p>
