[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can hold two thoughts in my head at once.  I can recognize that people should honor their ED commitments, and I can recognize that colleges are the ones who gain the most by filling a significant % of the class through ED. The vast majority of students do not benefit from this system. [/quote]

My student benefited. Like many she had an application appropriate for a top 10-20 school but none of the hooks, not a legacy. She applied ED to a school that isn’t known for valuing legacy, got in, and got almost exactly as much financial aid (a lot) as the estimate suggested. The system worked for her. [/quote]

Because the system worked for your kid( it must be a good system?[/quote]

What part of you can compare financial aid offers in advance using the NPC do you not understand? There is a system in place for comparing offers in advance, excluding merit. That means students who need financial aid are not disadvantaged by this system. If the NPC shows no aid, you get no aid whether ED, EA, or RD.[/quote]

+1000

And most schools where ED really matters (T25-30) do NOT give merit (beyond 10-20 students), so the NPC is same for ED/RD/EA. 
Everyone can choose to do ED.  If you don't want to, then you don't get the "perks of ED" which is knowing where your kid is going by Dec 15.
