<p>^Your point is well-taken. And I do realize that students can legitimately back out of an ED acceptance if their demonstrated FA need isn’t met. However, I still believe that if a student has a strong need for FA it’s in his/her best interest to apply RD and be able to compare various financial packages, not only on the basis of the amount of aid, but the type of aid, as well.(grants vs. loans vs. work-study, etc.) Just my opinion.</p>
