<p>D and S applied early too, despite our need for financial aid. First, we chose need blind schools that promised to meet 100% of aid. Then I got a letter signed from admissions that we could be released from attendance if we decided we couldn’t afford it. Gave a copy to GC who was satisfied and agreed to send out other app’s should it not work it.</p>
<p>Also applied to EA schools whose applications went out at exactly the same time as ED school.</p>
<p>Had very good results.</p>
<p>Would do it again.</p>
