[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For other EA schools, I don't see the big deal.  If student wants to know outcome of other schools' applications, no reason why they can't wait.  Usually the decisions are all around the same time, so not much time for school to react to a withdrawn application.  My son didn't apply ED, but he had a few EA applications out and once he heard from his top choice, he still held out and waited to see what other schools' decisions were.  Once he got the decisions, he immediately declined so that they could use that slot for a waitlist candidate.

Building on this, EA doesn’t confer the same advantage as ED since it is not binding and does not require you to withdraw apps.  I see no problem with a kid who applied EA waiting to hear on other schools.  Very different question. [/quote]

PP who was quoted here.  I would also add that if the EA applicant who gets into their first choice keeps RD applications open, that is pretty lame.  Those should be withdrawn to give options to others who might otherwise be waitlisted.[/quote]
