<p>I would not have considered having a child apply ED, because FA is too important.</p>
<p>However, D2 was nominated for a national scholarship by GC that is based on leadership. When you get to the point of becoming one of the 25 finalists, you must sign an ED contract to your first choice school (11 selective/highly selective schools to choose from). The award is automatic 4 years full tuition.</p>
<p>My daughter is a recipient to Northwestern U. We know tuition is covered, but we don’t have the full FA package. They waived her deposits. Is that a good sign, in terms of our FA or do all schools waive deposits for ED?</p>
