I still see two problems with this approach:

  1. The timing. The college runs the FA process to give all ED applicants their FA offers and wait for their confirmmations. That takes time. In the meantime, AOs can’t start evaluating ED applicants because they don’t know who will accept their FA packages and who won’t.

  2. The lost of early application advantage. If ED applicants don’t like their FA offers, it would be too late for them to file another early application to a different college.
