[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren't you supposed to ED reaches? Other kid has top grades on a demanding schedule is thinking of EDing Yale or Dartmouth. I am telling him Dartmouth because a little easier. [/quote] You should do ED if your stats are a match or above for a first choice school that is highly selective enough that it is a reach even for those who are above stats. It's often considered a waste of ED if you fall below any 50% metric in a school where you have no hook and the overall acceptance rate is below 25-30% unless it truly is your top school. If you're just trying to get into a top SLAC and doesn't matter which one among a few, should choose the one where you are most likely (e.g. have a hook they value, stats that are nearer the 75%ile). ED really only gets you a very slight advantage if you're already a match. They are happy to have ED candidates to defer/reject since ED is coming under scrutiny. [/quote]
