[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]

+1. DD used her ED at a public flagship because won’t get any need based aid. I am 100% ok with that. Stop the whining. Your rich snowflake will be ok.[/quote]

Lots of people don’t have state flagships at the level of UVA, Michigan, Berkeley, UNC, etc. I think most people are savvy and knowledgeable enough to know that merit aid is rare in the T-20 range. They want to be able to shop around in the tier below [/quote]

Well by definition, if you want to "shop around in the tier below" you cannot do ED.  It is a choice, you get to choose, but you don't get to ED and "shop around".  That's what RD/EA are for.  SO you get to use that choice
