[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people saying ED3 are trying to make themselves seem knowledgeable. I’m going to guess the they have never actually worked in an admissions office and aren’t familiar with this very common practice of calling before making an offer. This has been the norm at many schools for decades. If a counselor using that term actually had experience in or relationships with people in admissions offices, they’d be better at their job. Their job is to dial down the pressure, not contribute to it. [b]You can verbally say you’d love an officer and decline it later. They’re trying to move fast and get to the kids who are still interested, though. [/b] [/quote] This exactly. It's not binding. It is a bullying tactic. My kid was prepared to say yes, and then take the time to enroll (visit school etc.). Hasn't been offered, but that is our plan if she does get that kind of call. [/quote] Yes, this is what private IEC's recommend.[/quote]
