[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC was SURE in October that they wanted to apply ED. This was a school they had visited several times by that point and were confident was their top choice. I asked many times before signing the agreement.

Then they changed their mind, but too late to withdraw the application. So they are now in the position of being disappointed that they got in to their (former) top choice school. It's a really unfortunate situation all around. I've posted about this before and I hope those who told me DC will come around in May are right!

In any case, that's why ED isn't always the best option for every kid. I know I will definitely not suggest ED for DC2.

But couldn't this happen after any acceptance? Or do you think an early decision is particularly prone to such changes?[/quote]

Of course, but with ED you're locked in to attending. If DC had only applied to non-binding EA and RD, they would likely have had more options and more time to consider. I realize it's not a situation most people would find sympathetic (including me most of the time!), but it's still tough to see your kid so unhappy at what should be an exciting time.[/quote]
