[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have this dumb, dumb thought on ED that . . . I just wonder whether others have considered.

My kid has good enough stats to guess that next year they'll have like a 10% shot at several T20s (which is great, yes, but . . . . )

If you only have like a 10% chance at one, couldn't you put in for ED at TWO colleges, thinking the odds of acceptance at both are quite poor? Or if that tenuous logic doesn't fail . . . why not 3 or 4?

I just have a tough time with the idea, not usual in my time in college applications (you know, back when Moses rode a tyrannosaurus, etc.) that you'd apply to several decent colleges with a reasonable shot to get in . . . not 1 'best' one with a poor, but possible shot at entry, two months later 3 similarly 'good' ones you won't get into because you didn't pick it in round one and a knuckledragger safety that's where your kid will actually end up.

Anybody ever tempted to ED to 2 reaches?[/quote]

OP, this isn't a dumb thought. It is an unethical thought. Why in the world would you encourage your child to cheat? It isn't worth it and it's terrible parenting.[/quote]
