[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If they offer admissions you are on the hook to accept,[/quote] What is the penalty if you break the deal and say "no, we're not attending"?[/quote] Some universities do share the names of students who break the deal with peer institutions (similar institutions where students are likely to apply next) but there isn't a lot they can do to you. Your student's high school and particularly your college counselor will get some blowback. The counselor is required to sign onto your ED contract and attest that they have briefed you on the terms of an ED agreement and they are not submitting your child's transcripts and recommendations to any other colleges. You can be certain that the counselor will be somewhat less supportive of your applications in the RD round (this may or may not matter). If your child has younger siblings, your family's reputation will be negatively affected at your high school. [/quote]
