[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tulane getting huffy and punishing so many other students from this high school is childish and unethical.

Not that Tulane interests me, but now we have one less reason to consider it.[/quote]

No, Tulane is stating that this HS doesn't follow the rules (it's the counselors who allow that to happen), so they won't be considering this school for ED for the future.  The entire point of ED is that someone is 100% committed.  [/quote]

The counselor didn't do this, nor did the parents, the student did.  I posted this story a few months back but this board denied it happened.  Kid kept in applications to the UC's which don't accept/require transcripts for senior year so there was nothing required from the counselor who had no way of knowing that the student hadn't withdrawn applications.

Can you repost your thread/links?[/quote]

Here is that post- it was on the thread about the ED antitrust suit

By the way on consequences. I am aware of 1 situation, student ED'd to Tulane but kept in their apps at UCLA and Cal (lied to parents and school counselor that they had withdrawn). Got into UCLA and then disclosed because they wanted to go. Tulane's threat was to blacklist applicants from the high school for some number of years. The kid didn't care about that, the parents were mortified, the high school was pissed.
Maybe the outcome of the suit will be to disclose that the consequences of backing out are minimal?
However, if what the schools do is to notify each other so the offer is withdrawn that seems like collusion. I also think coordinating their net price calculators would be as well
