<p>So my AP World teacher is writing me a letter of recommendation for college - I received an A+ in his class, a 5 on the World exam (1 of the only 3 students who received a 5 out of 70 world students), and I won Best Delegate for Model UN Security Council for our regional Model UN event at Northeastern U, which is the most prestigious award that a student from our high school can receive. Its clear that he is going to write me a very strong recommendation - however, a few weeks ago, I told him that I was not planning on applying ED anywhere so that he wouldn’t have to write me the rec until later on in the year…</p>
<p>He was very thankful, since he has a lot on his plate, apparently, and he was happy that I was only applying RD. However, I am now regretting telling him this as I really want to apply to Boston University for Early Decision… before I had thought it was binding under any circumstance but now I know that Fin. Aid applicants can choose whether or not to attend if the burden of paying is too great. I really, really want to go to BU and I know ED will heighten my chances of acceptance but I feel awkward going back to him and changing my word.</p>
<p>Is it worth it? Should I just apply to BU RD and make his life easier?</p>
