[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But along those lines, theoretically, a student who applied to a school ED1 while applying to other EA schools could apply ED2 after getting deferred or rejected from ED1 before hearing from the EA schools (typically in mid-to-late January).  If an EA school accepts the student and they prefer it to the ED2 school, they could withdraw from the ED2 school. This assumes that the ED2 school doesn’t turn around a decision unusually quickly (obviously a risk) which would bind the student to the ED2 school. [/quote]
Yes, all that is fine. If you hear back from an EA (or rolling) school before you hear back from your ED (1 or 2), you can withdraw your ED app if you decide you’ve changed your mind, as long as you haven’t gotten the ED response back yet. [/quote]

Unethical.[/quote]
No, that’s fair game. You can always withdraw an app (or switch it to RD) at any time for any reason before a decision is made. [/quote]

I agree. The schools use ED (1+2) to goose their stats.  They’re not doing the various forms of committed admissions out of some kind altruism, they’re doing it to improve their yield, attract full-pay students and drive their stats.  How is that more ethical than playing within the structure that the schools created to afford the maximum advantages and selection options for the student?[/quote]
