We should first recognize that nobody — parent or child — should be placed in a position of having to play game theory with their family’s future. Instead of this thread’s parent and child finger pointing, the blame should be placed squarely on colleges. The solution is simple: get rid of EA, ED1, and ED2, life becomes less stressful for parent and child alike, and students get another semester to live their high school lives. How could that happen? We are in DC: pass a federal law protecting student consumers against these college shenanigans. Oh, wait. Since we are in DC, we know it’s laughable to suggest anything that would be so widely popular could ever be accomplished.[/quote]

Just listened to the NPR segment on Sallie Mae and the student loan origination which became big business and a huge reason why college tuition is now so g-damn expensive.  They could drive up tuition prices because they knew families/students would take out mega loans not caring they would be saddled for most of their lives.  Obama famously disclosed that he and Michelle only paid theirs off 8 years prior to becoming President.

I see the testing industry and the ED, EA, yield protection crap in very much the same light.[/quote]
