My 2025 student got deferred from Dartmouth ED 1, and then by mid-december got spooked and there were only two schools on her list that had ED2 and she chose one of those and was accepted and shes happy, or I think she is. So it all worked out. But if we'd thought about ed 2 in advance we may have added more schools to the list earlier that had ED 2. It is pretty hard mid-December to add new schools just logistically with all the essays etc.

We had DD make ED1 and ED2 decisions at the same time. She has three Hugh match schools that are very close in her mind. And I do not want her to get deferred or denied in mid DEc and have 2 weeks while she is disappointed over Christmas to make a decision. So, she has Plan A (ED1j), Plan B (ED2), Plans C (4-5 EA and RD schools) and Plan D (Pitt, already admitted).

Never make big decisions when emotions are running high.

Bowdoin was my child’s first choice…but we did not do ED (a fewYears back) because we were not sure she could handle Maine winters. She got rejected…but good luck to your child!

Maine winters are brutal but work for kids who are really into winter sports like skiing. If not- it's just plain brutal.

This thread is interesting. DD isn't doing an ED (no school she's that committed to). She's doing a number of EA schools with EA and just waiting until RD at the others.

Once you receive a decision, would most of you consider a "rolled over to regular decision" answer as a soft rejection?

I think it really can depend on the school whether it's a soft rejection.

How do you know it's a soft rejection?

Seeing a lot of Wake Forest EDs. We don't know much about the school but our DS who will apply next year is interested. We always thought of WF as a "likely" for a B+/B kid from a good local private - Georgetown Prep/Landon. Are we behind the times and is WF much harder to get into now? We have not started our counselor meetings as yet so still operating in a vacuum. Would appreciate feedback on WF especially from parents of kids who have recently graduated or are attending.
