[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to an SLAC, and from what I heard from both students who were in this situation and people who worked in the admissions office, they tended to be more generous with financial aid and spent longer reviewing the financial aid application with ED students. Since the school had a limited endowment, they would meet the full financial need of students who they were sure were going to come before considering regular decision applicants. They wanted to draw students who really really wanted to be there. I know this is unorthodox from what people say (if finances is an issue, apply regular decision), but I just wanted to throw that out there. I know several people who applied ED at my school who were pleasantly surprised by the financial aid they did receive.[/quote] This might well be true at many schools. Or maybe at just a few schools. One of the other issues with ED is that you wouldn't be able to compare FA offers from other schools. [/quote]
