[quote=Anonymous][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]

You need something better than "after a court decision" and "it's the wild west now" to violate the rules.

Yes, the rules change doesn’t really apply to ED. You have to sign a form for your high school and for the college when you are applying ED. When people say the rules have changed, I believe they mean people are still recruiting students after the 5/1 date. But ED students are still expected to honor their commitment [b](unless there is a financial issue - but if the school meets your need you go)[/b]. My dd applied ED to her first choice and got in. She applied to other schools EA and withdrew applications or rejected offers. They continued to call or write but she committed to ED school. It would have looked really bad to our high school and the ED school if she backed out.[/quote]

I guess it will depend on the school, but is there a typical window of time by which you will receive the FA info? I assume you are not expected to withdraw other applications until after you hear the FA offer?[/quote]
