[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the worst is when you apply EA and the school encourages a switch to ED2. Makes you have to rethink your whole application strategy all over again.[/quote]

Not really.  The school is basically telling you---we want to admit you but first we want to know 100% you will attend.  That's a good thing---they want you.  If it's your top choice, you switch to ED2.  Most will give you a financial read out before doing so.  I know CWRU does this, and they will tell you exactly how much merit and FA you would get.  They do it because they have yield issues---they know they are targets/safeties for many who wanted to attend a T25 but didn't get in.  
So if the finances are good for you, and you want to attend you switch.  If not, or you want to wait and hear from other schools, you take that risk and say no.  However, know you just likely killed your chances for getting admission.  You told the school "nope, you are not my top choice, I'm not ready to commit".  So they would prefer to WL you and give full acceptance to someone who will attend.

Actually I would think that is a very good situation to be in if you want to go to that school. [/quote]
