[quote=Anonymous]People who are saying "the school will take care of it" aren't thinking about how the process works at a lot of schools. Kid might have written all the schools into SCOIR and, once it's in the system, the counselor doesn't look at it again. It could be an entirely different person like the registrar who sends transcripts or midyear reports.

I probably wouldn't report because I would hate to accuse someone who might not be guilty but this move would be very dishonest  - to get the benefits of the ED without the responsibility - and  extremely selfish. It could very well hurt future students at the school. If the ED school is Tulane and OP is the parent of a Junior whose first choice is Tulane, then she has every reason to be concerned. Tulane officially punished four schools this year because a student did not enroll after ED and never notified them with the reason. I recently heard a podcast about this issue and one of the college admissions people said that Tulane's decision is a surprise only because it was out in the open. Unofficially, colleges blacklist schools when students do this.

If OP tells anyone, it should be the high school counselor. They are in the position to prevent the EA from happening if that is their next step and will be the ones punished of the student goes through with the plan.[/quote]
