[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My D (35ACT, 800/800 Subject tests, 4.2 GPA) only applied EA because we wanted to compare costs. Early decision is too risky if you do NOT qualify for non-need based aid. She applied EA at most places, and regular at the rest. So far, 2 merit awards that essentially gave her a free year of undergrad at each school. Sounds like someone on this thread has a DC who applied ED and may break the contract if the merit aid is not enough. [/quote] What do you think about someone breaking the contract because they didn’t get enough FA to make attendance possible?[/quote] If the NEED BASED financial aid offered with the ED admission was not approximately what the NPC (that you ran before applying) told you it should be -- yes that is a valid basis to break the contract. On the other hand, not receiving hoped for merit-based aid is not a valid reason.[/quote]
