would you report a kid who is planning on breaking an ED for a EA school to your private high school?

ED school is a regular destination for this private. EA school is TBD but kid plans to break ED choice if admitted.
Income/aid is not a factor (HHI high). This is making kids who are interested in both the ED and EA schools upset.

Yes

This is highly unethical.

Seen a lot of kids EA MIT, at the same time ED an ivy (Penn or Cornell), on top of that, EA Chicago, EA USC. EA MIT is considered a grey area, a loop hole.

Even worse, some kids REA one of HYPS, then ED/EA to an ivy plus at the same time.

In my opinion, their acceptance(s) should be rescinded, both EA/REA and ED acceptance.

If kids are upset that means the kid in question isn’t keeping their plan a secret so they more than deserve to be called out to faculty or college counselor.

By an anonymous email - don’t let your kid or yourself take the burden of tattling. Even if everyone is p’d off, your family will be public enemy no. 1 for doing what everyone else wants to do.

Report to whom? The high school counselor?

You don't need to report it; the school counselor signed the contract too, and will only send the kid's trandscript to the ED school, unless the kid has a valid reason to reject the offer.

This should be reported to the colleges.

Start there. The ultimate option is reporting to the college.

Depending on the timing, you don't even know yet if it will be a violation. If the student gets in to the EA first, then withdraws the ED applicaiton before a decision is made, that's fine.

I have no advice, but please let us know what happens, OP.

Timing has nothing to do with it from how OPs post reads. Kid already got into the ED. They plan to break the ED if they get into the EA… a EA they should’ve pulled the app from when they got the ED.

I'd think twice about reporting it to the college. First off, you have no idea whether it is true or not, high school kids talk crap about each other all of the time. In addition doing so will not benefit your own kid if anything it will harm them and their peers. Colleges generally shut out students from high schools that breach ED, either officially or unofficially so all you will be doing is making harder for your own kid. If you must stick your nose into this situation report it to your high school counseling staff, who frankly as others have pointed out, will have to send transcripts and won't unless there is something that you don't know because it is none of your business.

Does a private high school counselor find out from the local reps when one of their kids gets in ED? I would assume so?

That's not fine. They clearly should not apply to EA and ED at the same time. Withdrawal ED after EA acceptance is still a violation of the rules. This is clearly unethical.

No, it isn't.
