[quote=Anonymous]ED favors applicants with money because they won't know their actual financial aid package until spring, by which point they will have had to commit. Even though inadequate aid is the one legitimate reason to get out of that commitment, most families I know that really need to consider aid packages do not apply early. For both EA and ED you need to line everything up early and that often requires good college guidance. Those of you who have been through the process and know how much your DC had to scramble to meet those deadlines can imagine what it would be like if you didn't have (1) a parent who went to a competitive college and is familiar with the process, and/0r (2) a good college guidance counselor who will be on top of you for what you need with enough time to get it done. And, I think more privileged kids take the SAT earlier (and more often). Of course there are many examples of working class and poor applicants who apply and get in early.[/quote]
