I suspect it would negatively impact students needing financial aid. It's pretty clear colleges use ED to lock in highly qualified full pay students.  They need them in order to be able to offer spots to students who can only attend with FA.   [/quote]

My kid got quite a bit of FA during ED, so not for the rich[/quote]

Same here. It isn’t only for the rich; DC got a ton of FA at his ED. Sure, there were some other schools DC considered that probably would have cost even less, but it was absolutely worth it for us to pay a few thousand more for a school he is truly excited about attending.[/quote]

You are missing the point, yes, NPC financial aid is offered during ED. However, the schools also know how many full pay students they have locked in during ED to be able to admit students needing aid.  Not all yield is equal, none of the need blind schools have more than 50% of their class on aid, they can't afford to the full pay students who currently benefit the most from waitlists (something the schools admitted in the course of that litigation) would have even bigger advantages in RD if ED went away and those needing aid would be waitlisted since the schools wouldn't know if they could afford to admit them until they understood their yield on full pay students.
