[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Anyone can ED.[/quote] Sure - anyone who can afford to pay the tuition without comparing FA and merit offers. How many middle class families can afford to do that at at $80K+/yr for schools like NYU, Tulane, Northwestern, BC, Northeastern, Rice, Middlebury? Chance of admission is higher and most of these schools are taking 50% or more of the class ED. It doesn't benefit a kid to apply ED if they can't afford it, so yes it's a big hook for full pay kids.[/quote]

and again low income families who get low NPC. 
They ED without much pressure unlike middle class families.

You run the NPC and will know your EFC when applying.  This is not going to change whether ED or RD.  Schools like Northwestern and Rice are not giving you merit either.  Too many competitive applicants[/quote]

+1  Amazingly most complaining do not realize that.  That if you cannot afford it with ED, not likely any of the T25 schools are going to give you more in RD.  Most don't give merit---only FA, and that is the same for ED/ED2/EA/RD typically.

And too many competitive applicants who can afford to be full Pay.  Life isn't fair, not everyone can afford T25 schools.  However, you are not shut out of attending excellent schools---there are many places you can get the aid you might need, if your parents failed to save enough for college. [/quote]
