[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eliminating ED will actually make college admissions more inequitable because colleges have limited financial resources. Admitting students early that are full pay, allows colleges to better predict enrollment and manage revenue. ED actually helps colleges to be able to afford to enroll a higher number of students on FA and enhances educational opportunities for low-income students that would otherwise be unable to afford to attend highly selective schools. [/quote] This 1000%! Majority of 90K universities have a desired balance of full pay vs financial aid kids. Most have 55-60%+ at full pay. There will be less financial aid if that percent goes down---which hurts everyone else. ED is not going anywhere. It's a useful tool for both students and universities. People who choose not to save enough to "afford their NPC amount" need to realize that is on them. Plenty of people can meet their NPC amount, even people in the "donut hole". Because they chose to save for college. Just like everything in life, nothing is "fair" for everyone. The fact your kid can even consider T25 schools or you are a "donut hole family" means you have HUGE advantages in life over those who are eligible for full or nearly full FA. Your kid already has many advantages, you just wish they had more. But unless your name is Gates, Musk, Bezos, etc. someone will always have "more than you"[/quote]
