Wrong.  ED is for students who have an absolute top choice school and want to show that school that they will attend if accepted.  It benefits the student just as much as the school.  [/quote]

Kids are applying to 10-15 schools , but can only attend ONE when the process is over.

A strategic ED choice for a applicant's #1 option is a smart one. The NPC isn't going to magically change in RD. [/quote]

Exactly.  I have to wonder why the hate for ED.  No one is forced to apply ED, so if you're uncomfortable with it - don't!  The people who ARE ready to commit should absolutely have that option.  Every school should offer ED. [/quote]

Those who "hate ED" are upset they cannot really afford to pay $90K at their kid's ED choice.  They want the ability to wait and compare.  And if the kid doesn't get into "somewhere else that is good enough" they might be willing to fork over $90K/year.  So they can "afford it" they just only want to do it if the other options are "not good enough".  So they want the best of both worlds (the higher acceptance rate of ED and the choices of seeing all choices with RD/EA).  But that's not how it works.
