Okay. I am not sure about it though. Please go to school specific chats to have greater clarity on this.

Also, one more question please. Over the years, Duke must have had folks who accept the EA binding admit, pay the deposit, but still go to other schools, right? The folks don’t lose anything else apart from a hefty deposit, right?

Right.. Ive asked for almost all top 20 schools, ive gotten this 1-2 week answer.. but please do drop in an email and check with the school

It is an ethical issue more than anything else.

as an applicant for future year, i request everyone to not do that if the school wants, they can take action right Innes?

i don’t plan to do that but was just wondering about it

Hey one more question.. can we withdraw application any time? say someone puts in an ED application and interview is done.. only remaining thing is the final decision.. so before the final decision arrives, can one withdraw an application?

What I have understood till now is that they will take it in bad light because EA is targeted towards applicants who will consider dropping all schools for an admit at Duke. If you are not already in that mindset, it is best to avoid ED rounds. It is not about the money really.

as far as I know, legally they can iff its a binding round - for both Fuqua and Columbia

I believe you can withdraw any time you want. Not sure though. Only seems logical. not sure how they will chase international students with legal actions
