[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Backing out of an ED commitment to highly selective schools ends up hurting so many other kids. But bad families exist. Private schools can expel these families, but there's not much public schools can do. Trashy people are trashy people. Universities will make a note of the school and move on to the other 25,000 high schools out there. If you are wondering why no one from your school gets in to certain colleges, that's why. [/quote]

Oh please. Get over yourself, and your "highly selective school" worship.

Schools are businesses, just like Target.

If my DC gets an ED acceptance and, for whatever reason, decides 4 months later that they want to go somewhere else, or just not go to the acceptance school, that is life. Yes, I'll lose a deposit. But it may be worth it to us, for whatever reason.

The school will not fall apart because my child or your's does not attend in the end.[/quote]

So you were dishonest about the commitment when you applied ED, so you could get the ED admissions boost. Nice character.[/quote]

I never said my DCs did this. But, we know some who did and have no problem with it.

Frankly it’s no one else’s business. [/quote]
