accept at more than one school -- ethically correct?

Personally, because College A has created an untenable situation and is trying to get around the NACAC May 1 reply date, I think it’s acceptable to reply to College A and get housing, and then withdraw if necessary. I wouldn’t feel bad about it because College A created the issue itself, and I am certain is well aware that a certain percentage of the kids who “accept” will not actually be coming. College A is protecting itself; your son needs to protect himself.

I wonder if College A then uses all the “acceptances” to calculate its yield, without subtracting the subsequent “withdrawals”?
