debbs,
This issue comed us over and over every year-- ED is a BINDING AGREEMENT between you and the school. If your s applied and was accepted ED, he has agreed to sign the form and go.
From W&M's website (lines bolded are mine for emphasis):

Early decision is a binding decision process appropriate for students who have identified William & Mary as a first choice and are prepared to make a binding commitment to enroll if admitted.

By applying early decision, an applicant is making a commitment to enroll at the College the following fall if he or she is admitted. A student applying through early decision to the College of William & Mary may still apply to other schools. However, a student may only apply to one school through a binding early decision process. Students who are admitted to William & Mary through early decision must confirm their enrollment by making a non-refundable deposit within two weeks of receiving the admission letter. Furthermore, admitted students must withdraw applications from all other colleges to which they have applied.
I am sure your s wil love W&M. Good luck to him-- he is done!
