Reconsidering ED plans?

<p>I am curious to know if any other parents/families are reconsidering plans for child to apply ED in light of the current economic instabilities. Two friends have decided against ED and will wait to hear about merit money etc during the regular round (from not-reach schools). Any thoughts?</p>

<p>i too am in the same situation…i have already applied to gwu ED…gwu is one of the most expensive schools in the country…however i decided to go with it because if I cannt afford what they make me pay, i can always atleast try to make a strong case that i cannot afford it, thus, ending my ED agreement</p>
