Do you think "ED3" gives any advantage?

| If a schools sends one of those emails saying "one last chance to change to ED2," do you think there is any admissions advantage at this point? |

| Absolutely. It says to a school that an applicant is 100% committed to attending if accepted. |

Yes I don’t believe they send that letter to everyone. It’s the kids the like but they aren’t sure whether they will enroll. If you switch you are in. If you don’t you’re getting waitlisted or rejected.
They want your Yield. |

Not OP, but it sounds like a Northeastern tactic 😂 |

I'm so sorry that your little Larla got rejected from Northeastern. But she'll be fine and it's time to get over it. |

| Does the parent get the email too? |

Please don't count on getting info sent to parents from colleges at this point. Your kid should be checking their portals and their email regularly. |

+1 Honestly, I counted at least ten different disingenuous threads leading directly to NEU in one week alone, for each of the past two weeks. If only someone would take control of the situation, so that parents can concentrate on actual questions, instead of trolls taking over and taking away from the site. So glad to see others are noticing this. |

Definately! They are typically NOT sending it to every EA/RD applicant. They have read your kid's application and think they might be a good candidate, but dont' want to offer them a spot if they are not going to take it.

Hi. I was the parent (not a troll) who guessed NEU might be doing this. I have no grudge. My kid is actually currently in the RD pool; I encouraged them to apply! But I also have watched (admiringly) as NEU has totally figured out how to game the college rankings/admission system. Don't hate the player, hate the game. And don't hate the messenger 🙄 |

ED2 is such a shady tactic.
My DC got these letters from Umiami BC and a few others. I am pretty sure that every school with an ED2 option plays the game. |
