Trying to game ED is bad advice, period, and OP--who seems to think that Pomona is an easier admit than Williams--is unusually poorly positioned to give it.[/quote]

I don't think it's an easier admit, but this is a specific case I know. DF's DC, great kid, great scores/grade, loved Pomona after touring but held out for 3 ivies til RD. Got WL by Pomona in RD, [b]CC told them they would have been accepted if he applied ED.[/b] This kid was top of his class, should have been enjoying his senior year, had a great graduation but instead stressed out all the way til July and ended up at a school he was not excited about.

Every year I've known 3-4 kids who did this so just want to share here. Wishing everyone GL. [/quote]

CC is full of shit. No way they could know that.[/quote]

our CCO was also surprised by an ED deferral that turned into a RD rejection. In retrospect it was due to the other competition from the class in RD process.[/quote]
