<p>I wouldn’t say it sucks but it isn’t the best. My S was offered about 80% of the COA. Of course he received close to 92% from Yale. The problem is that ED is binding and you will have to try and fight that if the fin aid is not enough to attend. That is why I advised my son to apply RD and not have to deal with that. Their web site indicates you could be released from the ED if finances are an issue but when I asked their admissions rep he suggested against applying ED.</p>
