There are some exceptions to the binding nature of an early decision agreement. For example, if you truly can’t afford to attend the college with the financial aid package offered, this is usually legitimate grounds for withdrawing from the agreement. Before you back out though, try to work it out with the financial aid office. They might be able to negotiate or offer additional resources to help you pay.
A college may also be willing to allow you to withdraw from the agreement if you have an emergency, such as a personal or family illness, accident, or death. In that case, you should explain the situation to the admissions office. You might be able to take a gap year, or the college could allow you to withdraw entirely.
It’s important to remember that while an early decision contract is not legally binding, there can be severe consequences should you withdraw for a non-compelling reason. The ED college could inform other colleges, and you could lose your place at all the colleges to which you’ve been accepted. So, it’s essential to do your homework and ensure that the ED college truly is your first choice.
1: 是不是一个中学的康色乐 因工作原因就会知道本校有几个孩子同时申请同一个大学？ 然后她就推荐最适合的那一个去搞什么ED？我女儿的康色乐推荐她去ED那个啥奶茶妹的学校 我女儿说她的年级里面还有三个女娃也申请了。 如果我女儿申请了ED又毁约 是不是就会影响另外三个同学？
我现在想想 会不会就是怕影响别的孩子录取机会 我女儿最后就选了一个不知名的没人申请的学校做ED 放弃了那个有几个人同时申请的奶茶妹学校？我女儿以前申请私高的时候 就干过这种高尚的事。 故事以后说。
2: 申请ED的家庭是不是一般都不申请FA？ 我女儿和她爸爸应我的强烈要求勉强申请了FA 是不是这就无意之间给她造成了一个可以毁约的可能性？我当时要她申请FA的原因是：如果学校不阻拦你申请 你就应该申请 任何时候能够为父母减轻负担是好事儿。 这后面也有一个故事 我以后说。
我们家里人从来不想伤害也不会去做任何伤害别人的事情。 这里的父母可以放心！
谢谢大家的指导指正！
合理不接受offer（毁约）的理由，主要就是学校录取后给的FA比期望值低，家庭负担学费有困难

自愿放弃了？
overqualified（超标准了），十拿九稳能进。这样的话就不要继续申请了。马上联系学校counselor看看要做什么。ED申请的别别扭扭的，肯定是不对的。ED应该是申请人的Dream school。趁还没收到学校的录取决定，赶快退出去。
如果录取了，就得去。所以觉定ED哪家就要事先想清楚。ED学校提高录取率，换取学生的专一。不能看到RD 时被更好的学校录取而毁约。我不知道每个学校的具体规定，但最起码没有道德，良心会不会安宁，因人而异。娜娜花同学，好自为之吧。
你娃应该是OVERQUALIFY了，应该是会录取。如果你家不够资格申请FA，到其他学校估计也不够资格，所以应该没有资格毁约。除非有重大变故。这是我的理解。
越描越黑。
楼主的女儿选了自己喜欢的学校ED，但是楼主看不上此校，为了安抚焦躁的楼主，或者为了换个耳根清静，楼主的LG告诉她可以break ED。
现在画风已经变为女儿高尚，妈不懂。装可怜了
和国内菜场大妈坐地打滚儿区别不大了
特意去另外两个版翻帖
或者你现在赶快去补补课，看看女儿ED的学校到底如何。
90年代，我有个亲戚从国内来美留学，去的是Amherst college。我过去从来没听说过这学校。后来才知道是全美排名第二的LAC。自己不知道的不一定就不好。只是我们少见多怪而已。
不然自己纠结，毁约有损人品，也影响中学后面的孩子申请
