[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High school counselor encouraging a SCEA to HYP. Mostly P

Kid is leaning ED Williams or Amherst. But not decided.

I worry those two schools are awfully small for a non-athlete boy, but otherwise don’t care. I do care about FA, but NPC work for all

In the next two weeks, do I try to fit in another visit to Williams or Amherst? Or HYP? We’ve been to all these in last couple of years. It’s possible he thinks he doesn’t have a chance at HYP, which he does. But obviously  long shot for all. And so are Williams and Amherst.

Or do I just let it play out without stepping in at all.  Seems like a big decision, esp the ED.

Yes -- do another visit, and see if he can stay over with a student (maybe a recent grad from his school?) and sit in on classes/ club meetings etc.

My kid thought really wanted to go to Amherst.  Didn't ED but was accepted RD.  At the accepted student event, kid decided they didn't like the vibe, esp. with all the student athletes.

I was really surprised that kid ended up picking someplace else, and was glad we didn't ED (as we'd heard that ED doesn't help for unhooked applicants at Amherst).  [/quote]
