[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a scam at all. My child is not applying ED. We weighed the choices, and decided we want to keep options open and select a school with price tag in mind.

See how that works? The power is in the hands of the consumer. We have a plethora of choices. We weigh decisions with readily available information in hand.

It’s really the opposite of a scam. [/quote]

Not really. I can’t afford $85-95k in tuition so we are not considering schools where ED plays prominently.  I suspect the OP who is claiming “scam” cannot also. They ought to focus on schools that are a good fit, and stop with the sour grapes.

It puts your kid a a disadvantage if you do early decision or if you don’t. Just look at the numbers.[/quote][/quote]

We keep telling posters to run the NPCs, and they simply ignore. For elite schools, the financial offer will be the same whether ED or RD. The lower you go down in the rankings, the more you can expect tuition discounts (aka "merit"), again whether ED or RD.[/quote]
