You keep writing and writing and writing jibberish to justify the fact that you limited your kids’ college choices so that you can fund your manipulative extended family. Are your kids angry at you or are you afraid that they are angry at you? Sounds like it.

[b]My kid got into an[b] ivy ED- [/b]picked out of the 38k kids- and did receive aid. Another friends kid got into Princeton ED and also received a good chunk of aid , despite being middle class. But yes, neither of us have any idea what we are doing. [/quote][/b]

I'm glad it worked for you.  And the aid you're talking about then is financial aid which is not limited in ED if the net price calculator estimated that you qualified and the college is a college that claims to meet full need--as all the Ivy league schools tend to do. But the OP asked about merit aid and extended the concept of the financial release clause in ways that it doesn't apply.  I'm not worried for my kid--we are happy with his chosen application strategies-- but I think it's important for families to fully understand the risks of ED--there's a lot of misconceptions out there.[/quote]

No Ivy has ED so either you are lying. a poseur or just don't understand what we are trying to tell you.  And the only financial aid you will bet at the ivies is if you have a HHI of less than @ $70-85.[/quote]
[b]HHI of 150K and received a ton of need-based aid from Cornell.[/b]

We’re talking about merit aid, which the Ivies don’t give out. The fact that you don’t know the difference is concerning.[/quote][/quote]

That’s is still not merit aid. [/quote]
