[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. You lucky dog! you got a different crowd in your responses.. Here's what I posted and see the responses.. Downright nasty morality policing! :-) https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1185509.page#26805706[/quote] Yes, we all remember you. Responses had nothing to do with the "morality police". You announced that you knew your child has signed the Common App prohibiting this (the exact language is "“I affirm that I will send an enrollment deposit (or equivalent) to only one institution; sending multiple deposits (or equivalent) may result in the withdrawal of my admission offers from all institutions.") but that you didn't care because you didn't see the same language of the college websites. You were mad because you knew what you were doing was prohibited and because posters wouldn't engaged in magical thinking with you to make it ok. No one cares about your morals; we're horrified that a parent would risk their child's enrollment so irresponsibly. OP of this thread, I'm sorry you are dealing with this. It's yet another way people with more money have an easier time in the college process. But the fact is that your child signed an agreement saying that they would not do what you are proposing, and it is possible that their enrollment would be put in jeopardy by doing so. I suggest that you encourage your daughter to reach out and explain her predicament honestly to the admissions office: that she would like to register for admitted students day and begin the housing process, but there is a chance she may need to withdraw once she receives her financial aid package. Perhaps they will be able to work with you.[/quote] DP. Yeah, I was thinking the same about the other poster. It wasn't the same situation. OP, what do the schools say? If like a PP mentioned, they tell you it's fine to do this and change your mind by 5/1, then you're ok! [/quote]
