If you have any doubts about wanting to attend your ED school, call the school now and get your application put in the RD pile. E-mail and follow-up so you have a paper trail if they don’t do what you’ve asked.

Only apply ED if you’re 100% sure that’s the school you want to attend and can afford to attend. Otherwise, you will lose the support of your GC, may be rejected by colleges that learn you had an ED admission (colleges share lists of their ED admits), and may cause the rejection of students at your high school who want to attend your ED school.
