[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ED is a scam to improve yield. It should be abolished.  [/quote]

It’s also a wonderful way for families like ours to demonstrate absolute commitment to one chosen school and enjoy the statistical advantage that confers.  It’s a great option among many available options and it should be preserved [/quote]

But only available to those with financial means.[/quote]

Such is life.  There are so many things in life "only available to those with financial means".  I mean I'd like a newer, fancier car or a bigger nicer home, or 3 vacations to Europe each year but it's not financially available to me.  You have to learn to live with in your means.

Most UMC families likely wont be able to attend most T20 schools even if they get in RD unless they are willing to be full pay. Because they won't get enough financial aide.  What you should really be annoyed with is yourself, that you did not manage to prioritize and save for your kid's education.  It's been no secret how much college costs and what you should have been saving to make it a reality, if that was really important to you. 
  If you want them to attend a T20/T50 school, you should have been planning and saving.  There are still plenty of amazing schools your kid can attend that will be affordable, if you have not saved enough.

Also, many schools offer merit and financial aid to a lot of students, and that is often available due to the fact they have x% full pay students.  If you remove a portion of those full pay students, then less merit and sometime less FA would be available.  Essentially those full pay students help make college affordable for everyone else.
