[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That seems wretched. My DC had 9 other apps in when they got accepted ED and withdrew all. It wasn’t easy, actually. They don’t always have a withdraw button to click (and one school still hasn’t acknowledged the withdrawal despite multiple emails sent to the admissions office). One school where they got in rolling doesn’t have a decline button and continues to send mail and stuff trying to persuade acceptance of the offer despite DC having sent multiple emails to admissions to decline. Would turn my stomach if DC got a merit offer that should go to someone else. Maybe they tried to withdraw but weren’t successful?[/quote]

Thats great about your kid withdrawing their applications. However acc to my kid their friend would like to know where else they would have been accepted. They  are also waiting on USC and some other UC schools plus BU and others. The friend applied to 19 schools. Mostly all top 50[/quote]

We just found out recently that a friend had applied ED to a highly competitive school years ago.  They did not comply with the contract and kept other applications active.  Their father was a lawyer and helped them break the contract (don't know if they payed a financial penalty or not).  When we learned what they had done we weren't completely surprised.  The signs that this person wasn't very honorable were there.  It was why we didn't socialize with them as much anymore.  And everyone who wants to say "well you don't know.  Maybe they needed to compare financial aid packages" can skip it.  They went to a well-known prestigious private school in this area and their lawyer parent was pulling in 6-7 figures each year as a partner in Big Law.  They were selfish and knowingly scammed the system.  I think you either have values or you don't.  This person lacks values.  [/quote]
