[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those schools should switch to common app. Common app doesn’t allow more than one ED.

I love ED and hope it lasts at least long enough for my second child! It’s a great option for kids not wanting to play the field. DD had a very realistic first choice and wanted an answer as soon as possible. It was great.[/quote]

Oh, Common App is very easy to get around.  You apply apply EA via the Common App and then just switch your "Decision Round" to ED in the school's portal.  As you long as you can get a school counselor to sign the form, there is zero limit to the number of schools you can apply ED to.     [/quote]

Well that’s on the counselor then. I highly doubt a public school counselor such as our would allow it. Regardless, we used ED as intended and it worked beautifully for us. I’m so tired of upper middle class whiners claiming that ED won’t let them shop merit aid. Boo-effing-hoo. Kids with true need do fine in ED. Use the NPC and apply places you can afford. You’ll live.

This. Schools below top 20 that give substantial merit money still do for ED (my child's school promises at least $25k). For top schools, there's no evidence that ED applicants get less need based financial aid. The students who are suing because they claim they thought they'd get more financial aid are delusional.[/quote]
