[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Early decision is a rich kid advantage.  The rest of us can’t commit until we know what kind of scholarship or aid we’re offered. [/quote]

Sure you can.  You run the NPC.  If you are able to pay what it says for college X, then you can apply ED.  If not, then the numbers wont change for RD/EA.

If however, you mean, I can pay that but would prefer not to, well of course, then ED isn't for you.  And you do EA/RD and get to compare offers.  But dont' say you cannot ED.  You simply don't want to

So you’re saying ED is only a rich-kid advantage because they have so much money that they don’t mind spending it unnecessarily. I agree. But that just shows why ED is a special advantage for the rich. [/quote]

DP: No, and you are being purposefully obtuse. ED or not, everyone is limited to schools they can afford AND get into. My kid did ED to his favorite school and got in at a price we can afford. Your kid can do the same if he's a good candidate for his favorite school. If you don't have a favorite school, don't ED. But you absolutely can apply ED and get a financial aid package that works for you, and if it doesn't, you are not bound. Then you can reject the offer and go price shopping.[/quote]
