Understand ED Screws You Over

If you are an athlete like I was, I was encouraged to apply ED by the Coach here. However, the college does not give you aid if you apply ED no matter what your situation. My family had to go back to financial aid 2x to get just a work study. Because if youre an athlete they know you are going here for sure and it just isn't worth it. If you have good grades and you are recruited, just apply RD.

Need Is Met

They give you what you get and you appreciate it. They usually meet full need, but not too many people get a ton of financial aid outside of merit.

If You Need Money, Don't Apply ED

ED applicants rarely get money because you are sort of locked and loaded into the school so if you need money, apply RD adn you'll get what you need.
