This sounds incredibly naive. There are plenty of full pay willing to take your spot at the good colleges.

I asked in the other thread if applying ED meant you were agreeing to go to that school, if accepted, without aid.

It really depends on the school. The top top colleges don’t offer merit aid.

Where does your kid stand in their disclosure of top 25% SATs and GPA? And is the school ranked below 50 if it is a university?

If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it. Tell admissions and apply to other schools asap

You are stuck. However, you could ask to have the application moved to Regular Decision.
