[quote=Anonymous]Agreed. This is why the top privates oversee the process carefully. Everyone who can is encouraged to ED their first pick, and plan to apply to no more than ten total EA/ED2/RD if that first swing does not pan out. In a class of 150-200 kids, this is highly effective. It gets a much better distribution across the class, and most kids do well because the colleges only have a small group of kids from a top school from which to choose. I wish public school students could benefit from a similar process, but the counselors have far too much work and far too little influence to help. And the rise of (scam) college consultants who encourage 20 apps per kid is seriously unhelpful. I also doubt it improves outcomes. But it sure juices the fees! We took this into account when choosing our high school. [/quote]
