[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All colleges should consider offering this, not just the less selective.  [b]By the end of junior year, these kids are done[/b].  Like poster said - for anyone applying ED, the snapshot right now is pretty much it.  Save these guys the ridiculous stress ahead by making an offer now, and lock in a healthy early early pool.  Done.[/quote]

Not the kids I know...
If they are "done" at the end of junior year, what do they do for the full year after that?[/quote]

Not for all kids for sure.  But for those applying Early Decision (and some EAs), colleges will be judging them on grades as of end of junior year.  Senior year grades will not be a factor in and ED application.  Of course, many schools will still ask them to submit first semester grades - and when they defer students they will often ask for those.  Students should not of course let their performance slide as seniors.  But purely for the application process for Early Decision, what more does a college need to know?  Yes, some students will really improve their EC's over the summer.  But for those with strong EC's now, and especially those with strong transcripts now, the picture they will be seeing at Early Decision time is today's picture.  They'll never do it, but it's a wish that they would.[/quote]
