Do you think ED/EA decisions are already made at the Ivys?

and making sure they're not creating problems for themselves at certain feeders - ie, accepting a lower stats/accomplishment applicant over a higher one. That's usually a donor. If it is, they may go back and take the higher rated one just to make it look less bad. they may review about 35 high schools for this.

How do you know this?

I worked at an Ivy from 2002 to the pandemic, but I have too many friends still there.

DC saw that his ED school has made a decision on slate. Up to yesterday, the status is application "Complete". Today the status says "Decisioned". I think they had the committee review done yesterday.

Can you name some of these "35 high schools"? I assume top boarding (like Andover, Exeter) and top privates in big cities (like Trinity / Horace Mann in NYC, Harvard-Westlake on the west coast)?
