But you can get out if the package is un-affordable.  It can work for everyone who does their homework. No reason not to.  None.[/quote]

It is a problem for your school (who signed the ED app) and potentially your student [b]if they offer an aid package equal to or greater than the NPC and you say you can't afford it[/b]. Of course if there is a significant change (death of a parent, job loss) that is different. [/quote]

Sigh....

Step 1: Run the NPC
Step 2: Decide if you can afford
Step 3: If yes, apply ED
Step 4: If actual offer is less than the NPC, you can back out without penalty to school

Where is the problem, exactly?

The part where the prior poster (if that's not you) said "It can work for everyone who does their homework. No reason not to.  None."  And middle class people who would like to consider merit aid, relative weight of grant and loans in financial aid, before having to decide on a school are giving their reasons why it doesn't work so well for them.  It's hard to feel that your kid would have an easier shot at getting into a school ED but you really should compare offers more.  And that's why people perceive ED as biased towards UMC and higher because they have this flexibility and are complaining.

Any school you would need an ED boost for admissions to is unlikely to give you merit aid.  THAT is really the problem, isn't it?[/quote]
