[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see the interest that schools families would have in pressuring this family into not breaking the ED contract, so that future applicants from this school do not suffer consequences from this college.

But how is this conversation going to go, exactly? "Hi, I'm Larlo's Mom, and heard Larlito was planning on abandoning his ED pick and going to another college?" I mean, that makes you look crazy, OP. Your reputation is on the line if this is not true.[/quote]

How about “the kids are all worked up because they’ve heard Larlito plans on not rescinding their app to USC even though they got in ED to Penn.  I’m sure it’s likely just a rumor, but would be great if you could look into it.”[/quote]

PP you replied to. [b]It's still naming a young person who might be innocent. [/b]I would go as far as to inquire formally, in writing, for the school to confirm policy regarding ED decisions, and is expected to enforce ED commitments. Who at school is responsible for making sure that the student withdraws from other colleges once they receive an ED acceptance?

That should alert them that they need to supervise this year's acceptances...[/quote]

Well if they're innocent, they're innocent.  How is this bad for the kid?[/quote]

Because if this is just a rumor and they're innocent, it will create a lot of bad feeling, and the family will feel put upon by others at the school (including OP). It's not fair to them. You can address it at the school level by reminding the school that they need to do their due diligence in supervising ED acceptances.

Beg to disagree, Not seeing how it will create any bad feelings at all.  College counselor: "hey family, just circling back. Did Mary get into ED school and submit deposit and withdraw all other apps?"  Family. "Yep, all set."  College counselor. "Great! it was wonderful working with you this year."

End of story if all is on the up-and-up. [/quote]

Agree with this.[/quote]
