[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you willing & able to pay for Brown?  If not, tell her now and don’t allow her to apply ED there (Under some scenarios, she could potentially apply RD and then, when you see all her results, you (pl) can decide which trade-offs are worth making.)

That said, she can’t do Washington & Lee (full ride) over W&M if she applies and gets into W&M as an ED applicant.

So [b]if this is a price-sensitive decision, DC shouldn’t apply ED anywhere[/b]. [/quote]

OP here. It's my understanding that's no loner the case after a court decision last year. A friend of mine on the College Board told me "it's the wild west now."

If she gets in somewhere ED and someone else wants to entice her to come with a better financial offer, they can do that.[/quote]

Please don’t do this, OP. If you don’t like the rules, don’t go ahead and cheat — just don’t play the game (i.e., don’t apply ED). If you run the Net Price Calculator and apply ED with the understanding of what you’ll be expected to pay, you CAN decline if your daughter doesn’t get the expected financial aid from the ED school. But please don’t F around with the ED prices just because you feel like it’s “the Wild West.”[/quote]

It's not "cheating." The courts have ruled that the ED arrangements were effectively anti-trust violations, I believe. [/quote]
