[quote=Anonymous]OP, we recently went through this. DS would be legacy at an Ivy that is favorable to legacies for early decision. Nevertheless, we figured his chances were not great -- his scores and grades are terrific, but his EC's are not remarkable. So the question then becomes "is the Ivy first choice THAT much better than the other, more attainable options?" For my kid, applying ED to a great NESCAC school that felt right to him, and being reasonably confident that he could get the damned process over with, was worthwhile. In a moment of brutal honesty, he said that if he got into my alma mater of course he'd go, but it would be because of the name, not because he was so sure it would be a better experience for him than his ED school. Long story short, he got in ED to the NESCAC school he likes, and strategically I think this was also a good call because his stats put him right in the spot where applying ED would give him the greatest "bump."[/quote]
