[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it's not ED, but (restricted) early action.

Good news about that: your DC can apply early, see what other options are and decide after the accepted students events.

Bad news about that:  there's no advantage for students applying early.  Lots get deferred; only a few of those are accepted EA.

My DC, class of 2029, decided on ND after comparing "The Rally", the accepted students' event, with other accepted student visits. DC chose ND over three arguably more prestigious schools, including one T10, one WASP, and one other T20.

DC was accepted to the Glynn Honors Program, which offers honors students very small core classes (10-15 students) with like-minded nerds plus summer travel funding.

After the visiting days, DC reported that the intellectual opportunities seemed as strong as at her other options, the grad school placements were impressive, and that all current students report that the professors are highly motivated/ focused on UG education.

Just as importantly, DC reported a 'no sharp elbows' environment at ND.  Was really impressed by the collaborative and welcoming vibe on campus.

All that said, I was surprised by DC's choice.  DC is very ambitious and, though Catholic, not a holy roller.

So those are the early impressions -- can't report more solid data until next fall at the earliest!
