[quote=Anonymous]The language on their website is lawyer gobbledgook.  "We do consider Early Decision to be a binding agreement......", but it doesn't say what will happen if a person ends up not going to Tech.  Last fall, at the presentation on Campus, the presenter seemed to poopoo that language and said it basically means you have to make a $400 deposit in January and if you do't come, you lose that deposit.  He did not mention any other ramifications- like forget about graduate school or transferring in at a later date or we have agreements with other Universities that will not accept you if you violate the agreement...........

When applying as prospective student must apply to two programs (only one of which can be the harder ones to gain access).

Here is the scenario I was asked (we know the karma issues),  number one choice is engineering at Tech.  Loves Tech really wants to go to Tech above all other schools investigated.  Turns out he loves engineering more.

What would happen if student applied ED and was turned down for engineering but gets in with chemistry/physics, sends in the deposit with the intent to go.  Then decides that engineering is really the place to be and goes to Purdue instead.  What are the real ramifications?[/quote]
