The main disadvantages are:


If you get in and change your mind, you are stuck. One’s perspective about a good college fit can change a lot by April of senior year.
If you get in and then learn that your parents can’t afford it or won’t pay the costs, you are stuck being very disappointed and may also have great difficulty being released from your ED commitment. Your GC also may be ticked at you and may not advocate strongly for you with other schools.
