Can you get out of ED by claiming the financial aid package is inadequate or didn’t match the NOC? I would be very concerned about a college that cannot fill its class - especially when applications everwhere are up. Last spring, Oxy’s president announced that the incoming class would be 15% smaller than usual and, in reaction to loss of revenue,  called a reduction in spending by faculty, no new hiring, and a revisit to Admissions to discover why it happened. That resulted in the $15,000 “Oxy Commitment scholarship” which anyone accepted ED1 or ED2 receives. That was announced last October to try and lock in students and get yield up. And Oxy’s selectivity has jumped to 44.9%. It’s too expensive to take in that kind of risk. https://theoccidentalnews.com/news/2025/11/05/college-adjusts-spending-and-admissions-tactics-in-the-wake-of-enrollment-decline/2916071#:~:text=15%25%20for%20the%20incoming%20class&text=Founded%20in%201893%2C%20The%20Occidental%20is%20the,newspaper%20of%20Occidental%20College%20in%20Los%20Angeles.[/quote]
