I guess that’s best. If you haven’t sent them money then it’s not official. That’s the difference between ED and EA. That’s why I assumed it was ED, because with EA you aren’t automatically commited with acceptance to that school, so with EA you shouldn’t be in this situation unless there has been a drastic change with your family or finances that makes it difficult or impossible for you to go now. If that’s the case, the school will understand. If it’s just “I changed my mind”, then that won’t be taken so well. Don’t tell me you didn’t know that it’s a big college application process “no-no” to accept a school’s offfer of admission if you aren’t sure. Not having all your acceptances/waitlists/rejections before making a choice would make you unsure. I learned this last year when I applied to my school ED, got unexpected money from a different school but couldn’t go because I was commited ED to my current school. The other school wouldn’t have been a good fit anyway, but that’s beside the point. My point was that you shouldn’t have accepted the EA spot if you weren’t sure, unless you’ve had a big change since you’ve accepted the spot. Why is it that you have changed your mind?
