[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of DC’s friends is regretting it because she was steered by school counselor to change her ED school. It turned out now kids with lower stats are ED her original choice. Should stick to your guns.[/quote] This is really where ED goes off the rails. In its purist sense ED is a good thing - kids who truly know they want to attend a specific school should be able to benefit a bit from that commitment. But when strategy drives ED decisions and a counselor steers and ED application what are we really doing? [/quote] Agree! Some kids have a very real first choice and that first choice happens to be at least somewhat reasonable for them. Our state flagship is currently my DS's top choice and he should get in ED (and likely RD, too, if he continues on current trajectory). Great for kids like him. But for so many kids it is going to result in regret, wondering if they could/should have shot higher. [/quote]
