[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.

[b]Then they changed their mind, but too late to withdraw the application[/b]. 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.

It is never to late to withdraw your apps ED status before the decision is rendered.  Yes you can change your mind, but guess what - that can happen in May also.  At some point, be it December or May, a choice must be made.

If you know a school is your first choice and the NPC results are affordable you have no reason to not apply ED.[/quote]

That's mostly true, yes. This was like the day before decisions were released. I did suggest DC call the school and their counselor immediately, but they dragged their feet and decisions were out the next day.

Anyway, for many kids, ED is a great move for the reasons you cite. For mine, it wasn't, but I'm hopeful it will all end up ok![/quote]
