[quote=Anonymous]I can completely understand your son's desire to get this over with, but if he's really a pretty sure bet for admission, why apply early and close off other options? I'm not suggesting he apply early to a reach school if there's not one he'd really love to go to, instead, he can skip the early round altogether and apply in the regular round to a few schools, including the one you refer to in your post, OP. I've seen a lot of kids change quite a bit between the beginning of senior year and May 1 when enrollment decisions must be made. The kids who are locked into early decision sometimes regret their lack of options -- even when the school they're locked into was their "dream school". My nephew thought he loved Dartmouth so much that he applied early, was thrilled to get in, and then was starting to have second thoughts by spring. He sucked it up for a year and is now looking at transferring. [/quote]
