[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can hold two thoughts in my head at once.  I can recognize that people should honor their ED commitments, and I can recognize that colleges are the ones who gain the most by filling a significant % of the class through ED. [b]The vast majority of students do not benefit from this system.[/b] [/quote]

Majority of students also don't benefit from financial aid and don't benefit from having hooks. Should schools eliminate all these? ED is fine, just like giving needy families financial aid is fine. No system is fair to everyone. I cannot afford a Maserati or Porsche and am totally at peace with my inability.[/quote]

I’m not in favor of systems that encourage 17 years to lock themselves into paying $$$$ without considered choice.[/quote]

NPC. NPC. NPC. You just don’t like what the NPC says you owe because you don’t manage your money wisely. [/quote]

No, I can afford full pay. I can also afford the Porsche mentioned earlier. I just happen to think kids should actually spend thoughtful time considering their options than what I see in real life with the ED push everywhere.  In real life, tons of parents with older kids have also told me that think there are tons of issues with the increased push for ED. It’s only on DCUM that I see it get defended as vehemently as it does. [/quote]

So EA then. ED is not the only choice. [/quote]
