[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ED2 makes this less of an "either-or" choice.  Look into it, changes are the school you were considering rather than HYPS has it.[/quote]

How is this true? No ivy has ED2. [/quote]

There are several schools with ED2 that will be on the same college list for a HYPS candidate. UChicago is the most prominent one, but there's also Vanderbilt, Swarthmore, Pomona, Bowdoin, Middlebury, Wellesley, Tufts, Harvey Mudd, NYU...

It's true that many, if not most, of the deferred/denied HYPS candidates will not pursue the ED2 option, however.  On the whole, the ED2 grouping is less elite than the schools with just ED1/EA/SCEA. But institutions stand by themselves, not by the company they're in. I definitely think of several of the above schools as Ivy-level to some extent. [/quote]

Yes only school with ED2 that is widely considered on par with the ivies is Chicago. A small number might be thinking about elite LACs too, especially those whose top choice is Princeton or Yale. That said, the vast majority of the people that have the dilemma that OP has, are thinking about HYPS vs other ivies, Duke, UChicago. [/quote]
