[quote=Anonymous]My son is currently applying to colleges and we have a major dilemma as described in the title. He has top scores (1570, 3.97) at a top private school. He has good ECs (leadership positions, community service, started a club at his school, internship experience etc), but nothing extraordinary (international awards etc). His first choice is HYPS, and he specifically wants to apply early to either Harvard or Stanford. However, he is double legacy at Columbia which gives a good boost to legacy applicants if they apply ED. He is very persistent about applying early to his top choice and has already completed his Harvard and Stanford apps, but I am afraid he will waste his chance at a top school given that HYPS is a complete crapshoot and all the very top kids apply there early. Also all of the top 10 ED schools become crapshoots in RD. He definitely likes Columbia and wants apply there RD but it is his 6th choice so he is not very keen on EDing there. Should I let him be or push more for the ED school? Do you think a kid with his profile would have a decent chance at HYPS SCEA?[/quote]
