[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We used the full pay advantage by having DD apply at Northwestern Early Decision.

Regular acceptance rates are about 11%.  Early decision acceptance rate is about 25%.

I am not sure but believe that when one applies early decision one is applying without knowing what if any financial/merit aid will be.  [/quote]

Of course this is assuming that people are too f-ing stupid to use the NPC available on every website.  And, they can not matriculate if the aid award is too small.

But of course, logical argument isn't the strong point of the DCUM crew.

Sorry, ED does not demonstrate full pay, only strong interest.[/quote]

You are the one who is to mentally challenged to understand the benefits of being able to shop amongst several options.  The financial aid can include loans, and, believe it or not, being able to consider merit aid that will avoid or limit the amount of loans someone may have to take out makes a difference to a lot of people.

Also, you have to withdraw other applications. [b] It’s possible that you may not know about the full financial aid picture in time to submit applications to other schools. [/b]There are lots of experts out there who say that applying ED is not smart for kids that are dependent on financial aid.  But you know better.

If you are not applying to additional schools before, during and after your ED application you are committing malpractice.  You have to assume that you will be DENIED from your ED school and apply elsewhere accordingly.  My kid already had 7 applications filed and 3 admissions before she heard from her ED school.
