[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're looking at this as a two-stage process.  Initially, two apps -- one EA private and one flagship public.  If DC gets into the private, we may be done.  If DC gets into public but not private, then DC will apply only to schools that sound even better than this really good option (my guess is 3-4).  If DC gets into neither, then we could be looking at a larger number of apps.

While I whole-heartedly agree that even an applicant with top credentials should not just apply to HYPS, I don't see why that applicant shouldn't apply to all those schools plus any other highly selective school s/he would like to attend.  That would be in addition to (rather than instead of) applying to good schools where the admission stats look much more favorable.[/quote]In addition to ED, would you do early action then regular decision to avoid the large number of apps?[/quote]

ED makes sense ONLY for students who are full-pay or close to it, or for students with an EFC their families can afford applying to a school that pledges to meet 100% need. If your student does't fall into one of these categories, forget it.[/quote]
