OP, MYOB.

There are many reasons why a family would break an ED. If it’s not your own family, it’s not any of your business. The private school will find out.
Why is this even a question? It’s unethical but the reason why the counselors are involved to begin with. Rich people do what they want all the time. It’s not like the entire private will get blacklisted for her for one student.

Yes the rich rely on everyone else following the rules so they can get away with doing whatever they want to do. That’s why the rules were created in the first place.

Imagine these people in the workplace.

This is what I've heard numerous time. I really don't understand why people don't find it unethical.

Are you a Director of Admissions?

Mind your own business. Nothing good comes of you reporting it, you will be known as the crazy family. Let the school admin deal with it if anything happens. Don’t worry, they will be pissed. The school will likely tighten up next year. Known example this year: Colorado Academy & Tulane

I would stay out of it and let the college counselor and the colleges deal with it. That’s their job. There’s nothing to be gained by a parent reporting an ED violation. Parents should focus on their own kids during the application process.

Those who fearfully hide behind the veil of anonymity are the very spineless scumbags who plead the 5th under oath in a court of law stripped naked the whole world to see.

1. If what OP is saying is true (aka kid got in to their ED) then it *has* in fact happened because no other apps should be out anymore. They should’ve been pulled.

2. People saying report to colleges are unhinged. If it’s reported to anyone it’s to the school college counselors and let them manage the situation. They will decide next best course of action because if this student breaks their ED, it could affect schools future applicants.

Report anon and no one is the wiser. Why is this so hard?

Why report “anon” if you are certain with the ground truth. Big give away…mark of a spineless coward!

PS: isn’t #1 a large assumption? Did the EA school send you the other candidate’ s acceptance letter?

Seen a lot of kids EA MIT, at the same time ED an ivy (Penn or Cornell), on top of that, EA Chicago, EA USC. EA MIT is considered a grey area, a loop hole.

Even worse, some kids REA one of HYPS, then ED/EA to an ivy plus at the same time.

In my opinion, their acceptance(s) should be rescinded, both EA/REA and ED acceptance.

You are allowed to apply ED and EA (as long as it is not restrictive EA). I also can't imagine being this involved or concerned about another student's college list.

I don’t think OPs kid or anyone else at their school (and therefore this thread) would be involved if the kid in question wasn’t running around openly talking about it/bragging about it so… what’s the saying about FA and finding out?

TL: DR of course! A high school just got national attention and blackballed for allowing this. The parents and counselor sign an agreement. There is no equivocation here.

Start there. The ultimate option is reporting to the college.

I'd think twice about reporting it to the college. First off, you have no idea whether it is true or not, high school kids talk crap about each other all of the time. In addition doing so will not benefit your own kid if anything it will harm them and their peers. Colleges generally shut out students from high schools that breach ED, either officially or unofficially so all you will be doing is making harder for your own kid. If you must stick your nose into this situation report it to your high school counseling staff, who frankly as others have pointed out, will have to send transcripts and won't unless there is something that you don't know because it is none of your business.

This.
