Early decision deadlines are on the horizon. Where is your kid applying ED?

my kid got accepted to MIT after being deferred, although that is EA (not sure if it makes a difference) |

Many of the privates offer need-based aid. If their Net Price Calculator shows you an affordable estimate, ED may be worth a try. |

They don’t do ED, Early Restrictive Action instead |

NP. I think maybe because they see a higher yield from people who ED'd, even if they were deferred. I suppose their numbers tell them that. |

Deferred then admitted to Princeton. The whole question of how rare it is to get in after being deferred seems tricky, because getting in period is rare, whether it's ED/EA, RD, or off the waitlist. (I hope that didn't sound gloomy) |

ED is a problem for so-called “donut hole” families who don’t qualify for financial aid and need to shop for merit aid |

Maybe this should be its own thread, but I would love to hear how other families are working through the question of an ED to a 95% rejection rate school versus a more likely submission. If you get in on the latter, then you might be saying "what if" to the harder school. On the other hand, if you get into the "easier" one, you are done. And if you apply to the "harder" one and get denied, then you have to scramble ED2 or sweat RD to the "easier" one. |
