Oh, so jealous. My 3.9, 1500 SAT kid was rejected ED. He ended up BU Honors which is fine but he loved Tufts and was pretty depressed after getting rejected. He was thinking about trying to transfer but now he has some good friends and I don’t think he feels like starting over again.[/quote]
Aside, but when you apply ED, does that mean you're applying full pay (or at least regardless of aid)? [/quote]

Yes. Because they decide what you can pay. NEU provides a financial pre-read.[/quote]

You calculate EFC before applying ED. If they do not meet EFC, you have a decent argument to get out of the agreement because you can’t afford it.  If they meet EFC. then you are on notice about what they assume you can pay and you are unlikely to be able to get out of the agreement.  That is why people say it is for rich people because you do not have the opportunity to compare financial aid or merit packages (you are unlikely to get merit because they know they have you on the hook).[/quote]
