[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the data at our NJ HS, it seems that ED at top SLACs doesn’t give a better chance to those with less than perfect stats, but it does give better odds to those with perfect stats, i.e, kids with 4.5+ and 1520+ get in at a higher rate in ED than in RD). It is meaningful to these schools (Williams, Swat, Amherst, Bowdoin) when a top student at our school chooses to apply to a SLAC rather than an Ivy. At the SLACs in the Midwest (Carleton and Grinell) and the slightly less selective East Coast SLACs (Haverford, Colby, Wesleyan, etc.) ED is a huge boost for our school. [/quote] This is my perception at DC's DMV magnet, too. My DC was above the Naviance green checks for stats and also knew a dozen other kids would be applying to their top-choice WASP (presumably RD). In this case, ED was the right strategy and it worked out. [/quote]
