[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, early action seemed like the lottery this year too. So many kids applying EA to the schools that have it (UVA, Michigan, UChicago, etc), and those schools ended up deferring a ton. Your kid will be MUCH better off finding a realistic school and applying ED. Best way to go.[/quote]

EA is not binding. Bad advice not to apply to EA schools.   [/quote]

If your DC is interested in LACs, then some of the Midwestern ones have EA. If your DC is high(ish) stats and full pay, then there is a chance your DC may hear by mid-December. Drexel has EA and DC heard back from them before receiving ED response. Some of my friends' DCs applied to IU and Pitt as soon as the doors were open as they crank out their replies, though I understand that both have become a little more competitive in recent years. Also heard that Pitt's merit aid is not as generous as it was even one and two years ago.

The college counseling office at our DCs' school was pretty good and they both had the strongest advisors in the offices. Both DCs had good lists, including EAs.

ED is probably the best shot, but don't leave EA apps unsent in the portal. [/quote]
