[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Within ten minutes of receiving their ED acceptance last year, our child clicked accept and had withdrawn all other applications.

Presumably you don't apply ED if you aren't planning to attend, so why wait?[/quote]

NP and +1 to this. Families shouldn't use ED if they don't intend for the student to go to that school, period. I get the whole "but we can wait for the financial aid information first" etc. but honestly, why raise a kid's hopees and have them apply ED to a place you cannot possibly afford unless it makes a certain type of aid offer? Talk about adding to your kid's stress level. Our DC did ED2, got in, withdrew all other offers that same night, because DC understood that ED means "I will go here no matter who else says yes to me." And bluntly, aid was not a dealbreaker.

Those who are shrugging off withdrawing other applications after an ED acceptance are jerks who don't give a s**t that their kid, sitting on a slot, is potentially causing problems and stress for other applicants. You don't care about strangers you'll never meet, I guess. [/quote]

You don't know that at all.  Are you this nasty and judgmental in real life?  I didn't think so.[/quote]
