[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD was accepted ED but the week before the acceptance we discovered she had a serious health issue that at the time we thought might require her to stay much closer to home. She withdrew EA apps from schools 2 or more hours away but she had two acceptances from schools close by already and she kept those options open for about 6 weeks while we figured out the extent of the health situation and what treatment she would need. In that period, we paid the deposit on the ED school.

All worked out ok, she is at the ED school and doing well so far. I'm sure someone will say it was unethical, but I did not want her to end up with no college options because of a medical issue.[/quote]

In your case, I do not think it is unethical.  Your kid's health situation had changed and you needed to ensure she had options close to home.  Don't think many (if any) would find an issue with that if the health issue is real (I believe you, just saying it has to be real)[/quote]
