[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly happened, OP?

There is NOTHING wrong with a kid accepting a regular decision spot somewhere, paying the deposit, and then ditching that school once she gets in the waitlist somewhere else. That is totally allowed.

And yeah, I will teach my kid to make the best decision FOR HERSELF and not focus on the classes coming after her. She should decline a waitlist spot she wants because of some unknown junior who might want to go to the original school!! Yeah, no.[/quote]

Then they shouldn't be signing a legal document codifying their withdraw of applications from other school should they be admitted ED.[/quote]

Legal document??? Codifying their withdraw? You’re hilarious. It was a box to check on the Common App. Totally not enforceable. [/quote]

Folks, you can’t fix trashy people LOL[/quote]

I’m the poster you’re quoting. I got into my school ED well over 30 years ago and have a kid that got into Cornell ED last year. We knew exactly what we were getting into and followed through with ED acceptance.

My comment was about all the pseudo lawyers here who think that checking a box on the Common App is akin to a “legal document” whereby a school will sue you if you renege on the ED acceptance. Or that schools keep lists for years and block admissions for kids from a particular school if someone backs out of an ED acceptance. This doesn’t happen.
