In general, what concerns me is how many students seem to want the “benefits” of ED without its drawbacks, and so look for a way to get out of the contract. If all students applied ED with the intent of not abiding with its rules, then it wouldn’t take long for colleges to abandon it. If you don’t like the rules of ED, then don’t apply.

Or, how would you feel if you were accepted ED and then the college writes you a letter in March that said, “we have so many great applicants applying this year that are better than you, we’ve decided to rescind your acceptance so we can take one of them instead.” That would be breaking their part of the ED agreement. Why is it OK for you to break it and not them?



Exactly. The posters here want to get of ED while stilling enjoying the benefits of it. They want all the benefits but none of the drawbacks; even citing legal loopholes lol. Does this seem fair to the ED colleges?
