Smells like BS. Maybe upping the offer in April but day(s) after commitments? Makes little sense.

I think schools are allowed to contact those students who never rejected their offers (i.e., didn't tell the college that they had committed to other universities).

So long as the colleges don't knowingly try to poach students who have committed elsewhere, they may try to entice the 'undecideds' to enroll by offering additional discounts.

So no, ED students -- who have already committed and enrolled -- would not be the targets here.

I’m reading on a fbook group that people received substantial merit offers on and after decision day from schools like Syracuse, Marist and Seaton Hall. How common is this? Any other schools that commonly do this? I’m assuming if you applied ED you won’t have this happen?
