classmate got into her early decision school but refuses to withdrawl

A classmate who’s applying to the same major as me has already been accepted to her US Early Decision school, but she refuses to withdraw her other applications because she wants to see her remaining decisions. What should I do, given that the courses are highly competitive?

And who enforces those rules?

Exactly my point

If it’s part of the rules that she withdraws, and if it’s unfair to other applicants, why not report it to somebody?

it's part of the ed binding rule
Reading around the topic, it’s basically up to the student and the schools guidance counsellor to action the withdrawals.

However it might be worth raising that if a student breaks the ED agreement and another institution discovers this, both the ED school and the other school(s) can rescind their offers of admission.

So probably not worth the risk for the sake of curiosity.
