I am attaching a link explaining what it means to apply early decision. Sometimes I think students do not understand what is involved to apply Early Decision.

http://catalog.lehigh.edu/previous/2013-14/informationofgeneralinterest/admissionguidelines/earlydecision/

“Our program is a binding Early Decision plan, meaning that the student who is admitted to Lehigh under this program must withdraw all other applications filed and must not initiate any new applications to other schools.”

“The Early Decision plan is not for everyone. It is for the student who has begun early and been active in his or her college search, and is sure that he or she wants to attend Lehigh. While pursuing admission under the Early Decision plan, students may apply to other institutions, but may only have one Early Decision application pending at any time. Additionally, Early Decision candidates forfeit the ability to compare financial aid offers from other schools.”

Please note the word “BINDING.” If you get accepted early decision you are contractually obligated to accept whatever financial offer Lehigh chooses to offer you. Even if they choose not to offer you any financial aid you have agreed to attend. This is not an option for someone who is not able to attend regardless of the financial package offered.
