[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of admission consultants are also calling it an "informal ED3" or "ED3 type" when the school asks the school-based counselor or student in advance of making the offer if the kid is 100% committed to accepting. If the counselor/student say yes, the student gets an acceptance in their portal that they are expected to accept. If a school-based counselor or student leads a college to believe they're 100% in and they're not and they don't end up accepting, it could hurt the credibility of the school with that college the following year.[/quote]
That just shows a misunderstanding of a something extremely basic element of college admissions.

No commitment is being made upfront. That is the fundamental part of “early decision.”

Calling something ED3 implies that a student has to commit upfront to attend. They do not. They are simply being asked if they are still interested in the school. They can still say no if they get an offer.

It is crazy that anyone who takes money for their guidance  would further that term.

You have a choice here. Do you further this ridiculousness or do you push back? [/quote]
