Well does your kid want to go to school in Chicago or Nashville?
My kid (who lacks opinions in most things) would be able to tell you that in about 5 seconds.

Is vandy easier to get into for ED than NU? My gut says yes, by a lot.

Penn ED is going to be crazy from DMV this year. What other schools seem like they'll have boosted ED numbers?

Why so many to Penn?

You'd be very wrong. Just looked it up. Vanderbilt's ED acceptance rate is 15.7 percent. Northwestern's is 21.2 percent.

DS's top choice only has EA, that's why.

Same. It doesn't allow us to apply to any other private universities EA or ED. And only EA to public universities.

So he has two EAs with 11/1 deadlines and the rest are RD.

Is this typical? DS's school doesn't have any such restrictions.

Princeton, Harvard, Yale: yes. They have REA. Restrictive early action

What makes this different from ED then?

You don’t have to attend.

I’m surprised by this.

NP. The 2022-23 Common Data Set has Vandy's ED acceptance rate at 17.6

You can only apply to public schools AND one of the REA schools (Yale, Harvard or Princeton). If you get into Yale and Berkeley, you could say no to Yale and head to Berkeley. What you canNOT do is apply to Yale early as well as another private, get into both and then say you’re going to the other private.

Vanderbilt takes all their athletes through RD whereas Northwestern takes them during ED so you can’t go just based on numbers. I would also say Northwestern gets stronger students applying overall.

Yes, Vanderbilt has ED2, which has lower acceptance rate than ED1. This is a combined rate. Northwestern only has one round of ED

The UC schools don’t have EA or ED, but they might recruit for sports early. My kid had a classmate who was recruited the summer before senior year for her sport.

Not sports, and she claims friend is going to take a gap year, too. Could someone have already gotten an answer from UCLA if they applied as early as possible? I don’t know-we’re in VA and not considering any west coast schools

UCLA hates gaps years and rarely grants them.

I realized that just after I posted. Face palm. Thanks!
