[quote=Anonymous]I think Williams and Amherst are fantastic and have no issue with any applicant preferring them to HYP. That said, I would advise against EDing to either. As others have mentioned, ED offers no advantage (and some might claim it's an affirmative disadvantage for Williams). But more importantly, many kids change their minds in the time between November ED applications and May 1 final RD decisions. If you ED and are accepted, you're locked in. My kid is at another WASP school (which is wonderful and which she chose over a couple Ivies), but I'd still advise your DC to SCEA at one of HYP and RD to the rest. Then, based on acceptances, your kid can attend admitted student events at his preferred schools and likely make a more informed decision that can accommodate shifting priorities over the next half year.[/quote]
