[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The very top students would rarely apply ED. That’s because the very top schools don’t even offer it. If I seriously wanted t8 attend HYPSM, why would I ever apply ED anyplace else?[/quote] Because you know that even as a top student your odds are 50-90% against, and your second choice, (Columbia? Duke?) offers ED so you decide to compromise to have your application reviewed against a significantly smaller cohort. That is why SCEA sucks so bad, because it forces kids into this game theory.[/quote] Very true. My tippy top student did SCEA and it didn’t work out but then during RD got into 2 of the HYPSM plus Penn, Columbia…. My top student compromised, got in ED to Penn, but wonders if Stanford or Yale would have worked out if applied to. Really dislike what a game the whole process is and how much importance is given to the essays. [/quote]
