ED violation

[Anonymous]

I’m wondering if any action can be taken in this situation. My child is a senior at a MCPS school. Another kid applied and was accepted ED to a top private university. The kid and their parents are refusing to commit to the school and refuse to withdraw other applications.

This week the kid got into an EA school when others didn’t. Do universities share their ED lists? It wasn’t my kid this week, but could easily be later in the cycle.

Family says that it’s for financial reasons but went on an expensive vacation last week.

Good grief, MYOB.

Yes. MYOB. Drop it OP.

No, action can not be taken. So nosy!!

Unless the college is giving the kid a full ride, financial reasons are an escape valve for the family

MYOB and stop counting other people's money.

This happens every year in our high school. There are a lot of unethical people out there.

There is absolutely no obligation to withdraw from other applications if you are legitimately awaiting a financial aid package.

How do you know they went on an expensive vacation? Some people spend more just to go to Ocean City than the next person that flew Spirit Airlines to the DR and stayed at a budget hotel.

The kid will be just fine. The college may be more cautious with the upcoming classes from
this school though, but who cares?

Stay in your own lane, OP.

This is not for you to concern yourself with at all. And shame on you for thinking it is. Wow.

You worry about you. Only look in someone else's bowl to be sure they have enough.

OP probably was also one of these people obsessed with whether someone was cheating on school zone residency.

This might be one of the saddest and most competitive posts.

MYOB!!!

I agree with OP but there is no complaint mechanism. Sorry you have to watch the cheating.

I think it would only get bad if the kid broke the first ED agreement to go elsewhere. But it’s hard to enforce pulling of applications.

I would bring it up with the high school college counselor.
