[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you are accepted ED, you agree to withdraw all other applications.

[b]You can be released from the ED agreement only if the financial aid package is unaffordable.[/b] "I got a better offer" is not an ethical reason to break the agreement.

Unethical behavior is not a great way to start a military career.[/quote]

This may be the out that students use for Service Academy appointments. [/quote]
It's not about comparing offers. It's about the package being affordable, period. You have a short time to determine whether the package offered is affordable. Use the Net Price Calculator. If it's affordable per the NPC and the package corresponds to the NPC estimate, you can't simply say, oh I got merit elsewhere.

The only ethical way that getting out of ED works in this situation would be if the student found out they got into the service academy prior to ED decision release and withdrew their ED app before actually finding out if they were admitted.[/quote]
