[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you upset because you think your kid is playing the "ED Game" where they would rather attend Wash U than say UMD, but really want to go Northwestern...but realize WashU has a way higher ED acceptance rate than Northwestern...and [b]WashU has a way lower RD acceptance rate?

Or, are you upset because the idea of attending college in St. Louis is not what you envisioned for your kid (because you yourself would not make that choice)?

The former is a huge dilemma...the latter is your own issue to get over.[/quote]

Is this accurate ? My understanding is that both WUSTL's RD & ED acceptance rates are higher than Northwestern's.[/quote]

This past cycle, WashU had nearly a 40% ED1 acceptance rate (26% total ED1 and ED2 acceptance rate) vs. an overall 12% acceptance rate.  I don't know how many kids they take in the ED cycle, but it is something likely much lower than the 12% overall.

You are correct that Northwestern at 7% is lower...but I believe it is a little more consistent around 7% vs. very high in the ED rounds and very low in the RD rounds.
