[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got in ED to top school last year.  He waited a week to withdraw other apps just to let the idea sink in. There is nothing wrong with that, this is a huge decision. Yes, they did find out an EA acceptance that week as well. They didn’t brag or anything (don’t even think they told a soul)….but yes it was nice to see him get another acceptance and be rewarded for all of their hard work in high school.

Anyways follow your child’s lead and just pull them in a timely manner, I think waiting a week or two is fine.[/quote]

Just curious, what would you have done if the acceptance had “sunk in” and they had regrets?  I think waiting to confirm financial aid offer is different, as is non-binding EA.  But your kid signed a contract that they would take the spot unless the financial aid is different than shown - and presumably benefited from the agreement. ED schools should not need to sink in or be validated by other acceptances.  Presumably that is what you forgo to get the ED bump. [/quote]
