or if you were admitted to a program that was not the primary choice indicated on your application. You do have to ask to be released, not just ignore the deadline.

If this is the case (admitted to second choice program) they tell you in the admit letter that you are not bound by the ED agreement, so you don’t have to ask. You do still need to accept or decline by the ED2 deadline though.
For financial reasons you need to inform them as discussed above

OP, you signed an ED agreement together with your counselor and parents to accept as binding, if an offer was made for your first choice program, unless the finances did not work. If you think there is a better option out there you shouldn’t have signed an ED agreement in the first place. There may be consequences for backing out unless the reason is a clear financial one.
