Applying ED WITHOUT parental signature

This is where the problem lies. They think I should only apply RD everywhere to competitive colleges and bank on getting into two colleges to compare FA packages. This is the wrong strategy for me, I have proven them wrong, and they still do not agree.

<p>If you need to compare financial aid packages, do not apply ED anywhere. Applying non-binding EA or rolling is fine. But your parents are correct that ED is inappropriate if you need to compare financial aid packages, even if they are unrealistic about your chances at Harvard and similar schools.</p>
