<p>Hmm, I guess it depends on the school. NU’s is aparently like you described. From their site:

@&lt;a href="http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/freshman/applying/frosh.htm#early%5DWhat"&gt;http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/freshman/applying/frosh.htm#early

What</a> is Early Decision?
If you are certain that Northwestern is where you want to enroll, we encourage you to apply under our Early Decision plan (see table above for deadlines). As with all traditional Early Decision plans, you agree to withdraw all applications at other colleges and enroll at Northwestern if admitted. Students interested in HPME must apply under the Regular Decision plan.</p>

<p>Applicants who choose Early Decision send a strong, positive message to Northwestern. Given their high level of interest and overall academic and personal strength, the rate of admission for our Early Decision applicants is higher than our overall admit rate. We do not make a practice of deferring Early Decision applicants into our Regular Decision plan.</p>

<p>If you are admitted under Early Decision and apply for financial aid, you will be notified of your aid decision around the time of your acceptance, provided your family has filed the College Scholarship Service Financial Aid Profile by December 1. Students admitted under Early Decision may be released from the commitment to enroll at Northwestern only for financial reasons.
