advice re: ed
Posted: Wed Jun 29, 2011 4:06 pm
So, my number one school has the option of ED. My numbers (based on LSN, without ED) would get me anywhere from 2/3 to a full tuition scholarship. However, I want to maximize my appearance of wanting to attend this school in addition to whatever I end up saying in my PS. Should I ED?
I've read a few times that EDing can lead to a lack of sholarship money, but (also based on LSN) I noticed that at least one applicant received money from this school even though s/he EDed. I've narrowed my options down to a) e-mailing the school and asking if I'm still eligible for scholarship money with an ED, b) not EDing and just emphasizing my want to go to this school in my PS, or c) EDing, not e-mailing the school to get the desired information regarding scholarship money, and hoping for the best.
Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated.
