[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such an odd thread.  Do you all believe there are ens or hundreds of thousands (millions?) of unethical HS students out there?  Most are probably waiting on pins and needles to hear from their ED school. When they get in they're so excited and thrilledntonget in at thebplace they want to attend.

Our own child immediately withdrew from their other schools after being accepted ED - they knew there were other students waiting on pins and needles to hear from those schools, and why would they hold a spot when they knew they were not going to attend?

When you get in, it is a binding decision. That means you have to attend. Anyone who thinks there are so many kids out there who can get out of that, are crazy. A few here and there who figure out a way to manipulate the system, sure. But I don't think this is a huge nationwide problem.[/quote]

Not attending your ED acceptance is NOT the issue.  It's kids who plan to attend their ED, yet still want to "wait and see" with their other applications.  Thus taking a spot from someone else should they get any other acceptances. I do think there are plenty who do that.  Dangerous approach considering if the ED school finds out, they can rescind your acceptance. [/quote]

And, if the ED school finds out, it looks very bad for the HS and could impact future applications from that HS to that college. [/quote]
