[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]would a T10 selective deferral confirm that having T20s as reach schools is appropriate, with the understanding that it doesn't answer whether you will get in[/quote]

yes --with the understanding that it doesn't answer whether you will get in.

It means you've correctly assessed that your profile is lottery-ticket-worthy.

[quote=Anonymous]The better proxy is your EA admits with merit. That’s how you know you’re competitive for T20.[/quote]

Depends which EA admits and how much merit -- but this is great info, as well.

[quote=Anonymous]You have to look at the whole picture. You have to look at who you’re competing against in your school and how you rank compared to them in RD.

You have to look at major. You have to look at gender. You have to look at other potential institutional priorities that certain candidates might bring.

Nothing is in a vacuum. [/quote]

yes, and also: Look at what the universities themselves have to say following ED/EA announcements. For example Vandy last year (?) announced that 100% of ED applicants held major leadership roles or had won major awards. So, if your student hasn't won any awards or held major leadership roles, you'd best be looking elsewhere for RD.
