<p>First, seriously, if you have not heard from F&M then contact them and withdraw your ED. It is not worth it. Tell your parents, or not, but withdraw that ED! Maybe you can tell them that you meant to apply EA, and it was a mistake.</p>
<p>Generally, Rochester is not considered a party school, but all schools have plenty of partiers. At least it sounds like your parents would let you go to Rochester. That’s good.</p>
<p>I know very little about Dickinson or Conn College other than what I have heard. I knew a fellow who went to Conn College for a year then transferred back home to Seattle and the University of Washington. I do not remember exactly why (it was not money). Dickinson appears to be more of a party school, and I hear that it is very cliquish. But, again, I have no actual knowledge.</p>
<p>My understanding is that colleges only are nice about letting you out of ED if the reason is financial. Not sure that they would accept any other excuse.</p>
