[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came across a post on College Confidential that left me curious. [b]A couple of years ago[/b], my DS applied EA to every school possible from his list. He was accepted to all his safeties, but deferred to the RD round at all his targets and reaches. From there he ended up WLed across the board except for 1 rejection (so 7 schools total). This poster had their DC skip the EA application window and apply RD. Their pov was that high stats kids are more likely to be accepted in EA, while others are deferred, and in the deferral process they might not actually be given a true second look, therefore an RD application might be better received when stacked against kids who were already deferred. Thoughts? [/quote]

So, your kid may be a sophomore in college?  That was a brutal year.  My niece was waitlisted at 6 out of 12 schools and rejected at 3 of them.  With most schools as TO, there were huge application numbers and colleges were waitlisting everyone who might not yield.[/quote]
