[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From my experience this year, do ED only if your kid has a clear top choice that you can afford. Even then, know that your kid might change their mind -- ED deadlines are so early and it's hard to be so sure about college at that point.

My DC did have a clear top choice that we could afford, applied ED and got in, and then regretted it. They are feeling better about the school now that the application cycle is over and they watched many friends get rejected from top choices. But they say they will still always wonder "what if" about other schools. I will definitely think twice about ED for DC2.[/quote]

My DS did ED to his top choice (for like his whole life) and never regretted it, although when we were driving home for christmas break, I asked him if he had any regrets. The only thing he said was he wondered if he could have gotten into a better school, but then he quickly said but we wouldn't have been able to afford it, and that was that. fast forward to end of the second semester and he's totally in love with his school choice.  There's always going to be a "what if" when you don't roll the dice, but there is something to be said for taking the conservative route and ending up at a school you're happy and fulfilled at.[/quote]
