[quote=Anonymous]DS's top choices are a well-known, more selective school that is a "match" and a less well-known, less selective school about half the size where he would be a "bigger fish." I know it is hard to discuss in the abstract, but does anyone have thoughts about whether it would be better to be one of many at the first school or a potential standout at the second? We are trying to decide whether DC should apply ED to the first, which is less expensive, to be safe, or RD both to see if DC gets merit money at the second. DC is interested in grad school, so the concern is the second school's relative lack of recognition vs. the first school's reputation for "grade deflation."[/quote]
