| soozievt - I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we are seeing kids who actually have been admitted ED, go ahead and audition at schools as scheduled; we are also seeing examples of people who have decided to just "trophy hunt" waiting to hear back from other schools, just to see if they "get in". There are also others who are saying that 'in hindsight' they are not sure they want to/can afford to attend, and leave other applications open, because there are no true legal repercussions, or so they tell us.
So yes, even though when admitted ED, it should be a given that people are indeed retracting their applications, apparently plenty are not. My D had none of the above thoughts, as she was on cloud nine, when she got her letter, and, in spite of loving other schools, this is were she really wanted to be. |
