[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Columbia was his 3rd choice behind H & S I'd say apply ED to Columbia. But since there are 3 other schools he likes better let him apply to H & S. He won't get in but that's better than not trying and going the rest of his life thinking he might have gotten in.[/quote]

OP here, sadly Columbia is not even his 3rd choice, which is surprising because both i and my husband have always spoken very highly of our experience there. Maybe he is just rebelling a bit...idk
His list of reaches in order of preference is:

1.Harvard/Stanford
3.Yale
4.Princeton
5. Penn
6.Columbia
7.Brown

Why do you say that he definitely won't get in? I know he has nothing super extraordinary, but I thought with his top scores and good ECs there might be a chance. [/quote]

He certainly is qualified, but remember over 44000 students apply to Stanford each year and they accept fewer than 2800.  It is basically random for kids like yours...you need some of the admissions people to advocate how your kid will make the Stanford community a better place.

I do not believe SCEA at Stanford gives any significant bump for admissions chances unless hooked, but this is secondhand info.
