[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

I believe this referred to poaching students generally after they've made a decision, not to breaching the ED commitment. [/quote]

+1 An ED agreement is still an ED agreement. Schools can still come after you, but you won't be let out of your ED commitment to take another/better offer.[/quote]

Yes, you will. That's the implication of the court decision. https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/article/2019/12/16/justice-department-sues-and-settles-college-admissions-group

1.  That’s not a court decision.
2.  The settlement involves the contents of an ethical code for a trade organization — i.e. regulates what kind of non-compete requirements it can impose on its members.  It doesn’t say anything about what requirements schools can or can’t impose on applicants.
3.  OP’s kid’s credentials are not exceptional enough to induce schools to engage in bidding wars over a student already committed to another school.[/quote]
