I don't know how cogent that argument is and I didn't see it being accepted by the current Court. Unless there's some movement on that, this thread is a lot of hot air. Things do not simply become fairer over time as if by magic.[/quote]

I hope so; it's an advantage that UMC families refuse to admit is a thumb on the scales for their precious children. [/quote]

What’s the definition of UMC here? It’s a thumb on the scale for the top 1% who are beyond UMC by most definitions.[/quote]

"If your total net worth ranges somewhere between $1.2 and $20 million, you are in the top 9.9 percent of the wealth distribution. If your household income is around $200,000 or over, you are in the top 9.9 percent."

The lower end of this group can’t ED full pay at 90k per year. [/quote]

ED is not full pay.[/quote]

You commit without knowing if there will be financial aid. [/quote]

You meant to say “you commit without knowing what a Net Price Calculator is”.[/quote]

Your commitment is binding. Net price calculator isn’t. Check your privilege. [/quote]

It’s not binding if the offer is less than what the NPC says.  Check your facts.[/quote]

By the time you see a financial aid offer you are required to withdraw all other apps. The kid would then need to submit apps to rolling admissions colleges in the spring. You’re kidding yourself if you don’t understand ED is a privilege for the rich. [/quote]

Wrong again.  Not how it works. Nearly all ED decisions come with the offer or shortly thereafter, prior to Jan 1 deadline. If you don't get the offer in time (AND YOU WILL), call the college and tell them you are not withdrawing until the offer is in writing.

You think you are the first person to discover this "problem"?  You are not, because it isn't one.

Everyone knows ED favors the wealthy. If you’re wealthy, you’ll keep pretending it’s not an advantage, but you know it is.

Being wealthy is an advantage in pretty much everything.  You can argue this all you want but that doesn't change the fact:[b] for a need blind school there is no reason ANY STUDENT at ANY INCOME LEVEL cannot apply ED if the NPC says it is affordable[/b].
[/quote]

Yet they don’t, so maybe it’s not as simple as you think. [/quote]

Maybe that's because ignorant people like you misinform them?

It has nothing to do with what I "think".  It has to do with the facts, and I have presented them.  If you have proof those facts are incorrect, please present them or stop trying to mislead people.[/quote]

You’re ignorant if you think ED was designed for or works for anyone that’s not rich. [/quote]

You can keep typing your misinformation but it does not change the facts, which I will repeat: [b] for a need blind school there is no reason ANY STUDENT at ANY INCOME LEVEL cannot apply ED if the NPC says it is affordable[/b].[/quote]

Just because you don’t like being told that something that benefits the rich is a privilege doesn’t mean it’s misinformation. Just own your privilege and move on. It’s okay, really. [/quote]

I will not move on so you can MISINFORM others and possibly cost them an admission.

[b]For a need blind school there is no reason ANY STUDENT at ANY INCOME LEVEL cannot apply ED if the NPC says it is affordable[/b].[/quote]

No one has contradicted that fact with any valid argument.[/quote]
