[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar situation last year. ED high rates of admission are partly due to self selection for excellent fit. Don’t do it just for “better chances”. Apply EA to your state flagship, MIT, UChicago, Georgetown and whoever else has an interesting program but no early restrictions. See what acceptances DC gets, crooks off some schools, and apply RD to remaining Ivies+ . High stats kids still get accepted RD to Ivies. You may get a merit scholarship to your state flagship (UMD) and then in spring you weigh pros and cons of program vs. $$ saved for grad school. In 6 months, your DC’s #1 choice may end up being very different than you think now. You goal right now is to maximize good options to choose between later.[/quote]
