Personally, I hate ED.  The only time I can see it is if it was someone’s lifelong dream school.  [/quote]

Why do you "hate ED"?  Whole point of ED is it should be your top choice or at the bare minimum one of your top choices, and definately a school you would be thrilled to attend.

It's okay if you don't have a single school that rises to the top, then you simply don't ED anywhere, like many people[/quote]

[b]ED is repugnant [/b]because it’s a tool for schools to retain wealthy students. Other very worthy students are cut out from the process entirely. [/quote]

You do realize that full pay students are to some extent subsidizing the partial and no-pay students, don’t you? Each year at most SLACs the Boards approve budgets that require a set amount of revenue from tuition in each class. The amount is usually less than simply a multiple of the published tuition rate times the number of expected new students. If everyone got a discount, obviously, it would be harder to meet the budget. So full pays are necessary if the school is going to have a significant number of economically disadvantaged students.[/quote]

This is a very ignorant, knee-jerk response.  I urge everyone to read up for 30 minutes on ED before posting myths you've heard.  You have no idea what you are talking about and you inappropriately influence naive parents here.  At a minimum, please provide a cite.  To parents who are new to this - read and educate yourself.  ED can be a winner for your family but if you are counting on financial aid you need to submit the FAFSA or CSS first before your kid applies ED.  Call the financial aid office of the schools you are interested in and ask (ask for someone competent, not a student answering the phone).  Read on College Confidential and Reddit.  HIre a private counselor if you must. But learn before listening to people like this[/quote]
