[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids had much better results in RD rounds.

ED can backfire easily. You pick a school if it is not your absolute tippy top first choice and have to go there without getting any chance to compare (or shop merit offers). Also, you rush an application early while kid is still figuring out what they want in college and bind yourself to the wrong college.

So then ED is not for YOU.  So EA/RD and be done.

IMO, I wouldn't have my kid ED to anywhere except their very top choice. We don't play the games of "well this slightly lower school will be a better ED". ED is about your TOP choice.

And I know, because my kid was deferred from ED1 at top choice and then decided to wait to hear in RD, meaning they didn't ED2 to their next choice.  Now they did get into their "next choice" in RD and are attending, so it worked out.  But it would have been nice to ED2 which would have been more of a guarantee.  But they wanted to find out about their Top choice ultiamtely
