Good question inspiration08. haha.
I was actually registered for ED, but we talked about financial aid during my interview, and the lady explained that I didn’t want to get trapped in an aid package my family couldn’t afford. I had to bump down to regular decision, but I guess it’s in my file that ED was my first instinct.

As with the rest of existence, it just came down to money. We’re lower middle class, and I have a sister who’s in highschool, thinking about college and paying for braces, and my parents are adopting a little boy in a few months. The money was just too much to handle, I couldn’t put us in a situation like that legally, you know?

Part of me wishes I could have stayed ED…I’m going to feel awful about the whole thing if I don’t get in. Well…everything happens for a reason. I feel like I say that every day.
