| Some of the good ones like Ivy or T20 make sense but I’m seeing a lot of tier 3 colleges and they are not all athletic recruits. |

I was wondering if all the kids who are committed students who applied ED? |

| My kid applied to the school he liked best, and it was not a reach. Got in, and is very happy there. It is everything he wanted in a college and more. |

Yes, or EA or schools with rolling admission. |

| Yes, OP, kids do apply ED to schools you find inferior, but they love. |

My kid too. Kid had a clear number 1 choice - there wasn’t even a close second. Fit is good, academics are strong - it just isn’t an Ivy/Elite/Top 10 school. Kid is our second so we’ve been through the whole cycle before. Nice to be done. |

| There are some other reasons for kids to commit early. Mostly recruited athletes. Also Posse Scholars have already committed, including at schools like Wisconsin that haven’t released EA results yet. |

Same. This might blow your mind OP but some people aren’t obsessed with “T10” |

If you are looking at Instagram posts - not all the kids who are committed applied ED. |

| To the op: do you consider UVA to be a “tier 3” school ? |

| Full-pay kids with poor GPAs/TO use ED to lock down something reasonable. For example Elon takes 95% of ED applicants. Tulane is around 70%. If you know your child won't fare well in RD, it makes sense. |
