[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make ED illegal. Vast majority of parents who have gone through admissions would support this. And yet Congress remains feckless…thanks DC.[/quote]

Who are these "vast majority of parents"?  I certainly am not, with 2 ED admits which made the whole process much easier.

ED admittedly helps the school more than the kids but it does help them if they know their first choice.  It's the best way to show demonstrated interest.  If it is a clear first choice, and you have run the NPC and can afford the school, there is no risk and only gain to apply ED.[/quote]

It helps rich families most of all.

We’re a middle-income family and we would never be able to let our kid apply ED because finances are always going to be a top consideration for us. And so schools that fill most of their incoming class with kids who applied ED—even schools that are otherwise a fit—are probably off the table for our kid.

I realize this is obvious to a lot of parents. But I explained it to a wealthy friend the other day whose three kids all applied ED and she genuinely appeared to have never considered it. [/quote]

I'm sure there are plenty of other things that your wealthy friend has never had to consider as well.  Unless you grew up poor/MC, it's hard to understand what life is truly like. [/quote]
