How to pay for this?

[vonlost]

<p>AU uses the Common Application. Here is the ED financial aid rule:

Should a student who applies for financial aid not be offered an award that makes attendance possible, the student may decline the offer of admission and be released from the Early Decision commitment.

<p>So you say thanks but no thanks, and apply elsewhere RD (or ED II).</p>

<p>Imagine that a school somehow coerced a student with limited finances into attending, and then had to expel the student when the bill couldn’t be paid. Now imagine why we don’t hear of this happening. :)</p>

<p>Reneging when not applying for financial aid is a totally different story.</p>
