[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you can only ED at one school?
What if you ED at a reach and get waitlisted there?[/quote]

Right. ED is binding. If you get waitlisted, pick an ED2 school
threats ranked a little lower. [/quote]

But then what happens to your ED1 choice if they finally decide to admit you? Does the waitlist/deferred status cancel the obligation to attend the first school?

If the ED school defers you, you move to the RD pool so there is no longer a binding agreement.  If they reject you in the ED round well you have your answer sooner and can focus on other options.  Also while you can only apply to one school ED, [b]you need to check if that school allows you to apply to early action and rolling admission schools as well (not only RD)[/b] so you have a backup plan if you get deferred or rejected.  You would not want to delay getting in your UMD application by the Nov 1 EA deadline (where they fill 90% of their class) by waiting to find out in mid-December if you were admitted to your ED choice.

I give the same advice as the OP to parents of juniors, if you run the Net Price Calculator for that low-reach college that your child really wants to attend (and they are sure) and you are okay with paying that price, have them apply ED and get that admissions boost.[/quote]

Not sure if that statement is accurate.  I don't think there are any restrictions on applying to other schools non-ED.  However, once you get admitted ED, you will have to withdraw those applications.
