| Last year our kid considered ED2 to Vanderbilt. A peer did ED2 at Chicago. |

| We are certainly going to apply ED2 if the ED1 school falls through. |

| There are far fewer ED2 schools than ED 1 and it generally confers a much smalller benefit. Neither of my kids used it. |

| Chicago is THE ED2 school for unhooked kids here, especially the BIG 3, right? |

I think so. The past few years Emory and NYU have been the big ones for boarding schools. |

It is still a huge benefit. Schools with ed2 are ones that know many of their candidates would ed1 to a t25 school. Since most won’t get in, they can get top students to commit to them instead. |

Actually, the Emory admissions officer said the reverse at the info session we attended. He said ED1 acceptance rates were much higher than ED2, which is just a point or two higher than RD there, because the pool is kids who aimed to high for ED1 and make the same mistake for ED2. It isn’t a huge benefit at most schools the way ED1 is. |
