Colleges will sometimes blacklist a high school the following year if this happens. You are likely harming kids in the grade behind you. We saw this happen at our private school for one popular university when a former student screwed them over.

Bull. Show us the evidence or it never happens.

I am not the poster and am not able to provide evidence, but the college counselors at our DCs' private are very, very emphatic about this commitment. Parents have to sign the form along with the kid. The counselors are emphatic because they do not want future students to be affected by someone flouting the agreement.

High school counselors also have to sign the form, which is why op should address her concerns to them.

Not that poster, but it definitely does.

Talk to any experience college counselor. It happens.
There is a DC private going through this now with one university. The university routinely accepts 3-5+ kids per year (every year for a decade) A kid broke the ED commitment last year. This year all kids (10+) rejected outright (not even deferred). A message has been sent.

I’d love to know which college. The HS could be any and doesn’t matter (unless your kids are directly affected).

Why do you want to know which college? What does it matter? The bad behavior here is not the college, but the student/family.

Because we want you to back up your claim with some evidence. Name the college and high school.

There are ALWAYS people who think the rules do not apply to them. Perhaps there are consequences if you do this to a top tier school, but you could easily pull it off at lower level schools. What baffles me is that people aren’t smart enough to keep their mouths shut.

How do you know they went on an expensive vacation? Some people spend more just to go to Ocean City than the next person that flew Spirit Airlines to the DR and stayed at a budget hotel.

How likely is that at this point? Most ED decisions came out 6 plus weeks ago.

I don't know, but there are major FAFSA problems delaying financial aid packages. I don't know how this affects ED kids.

1) the FAFSA delays have put a lot of people into a holding pattern.

2) An expensive vacation? Really? Tuition can add up to hundreds of thousands. Was the vacation that expensive?

3) MYOB

You need to mention this to the college counseling office. A few years back, a kid walked away from an Ivy ED (wealthy kid so not for financial reasons) at a DC private and the school was punished the next year with zero ED admits with over 20 kids applying that year. This is not a victimless crime when people unethically back out of a commitment.

I would say something to college guidance.

OP, most people are unethical and cheaters as evidenced by the responses to your post. Sorry this happened. Sadly, this is our world now. Unethical behavior in the name of competitiveness.
