[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, they are in college now. Not citing the other schools, but they kids had their ED acceptances by Christmas, so it was absolutely ED 1.

From PP’s post, it doesn’t sound uncommon. [/quote]

But if the competitive school was somewhere like Harvard or Stanford - their December acceptance was REA - which both allows a UVA EA application and doesn't require the accepted student to withdraw any RD applications.[/quote]

Right.  Which is probably why I responded MYOB to last year's thread on whether to report.

People seem to quick to assume cheating/the worst. Why not assume good intent, and that there is more going on than you know about which explains the circumstances? And lest you think this is innocuous posting on an anonymous board, your kids hear you and absorb your negative assumptions. My own kids have come home multiple times from school and shared some "unfair" way a classmate is gaming the college app system. They never know firsthand - they are repeating speculation phrased as facts by their classmates, who likely in turn are repeating what they hear at home.[/quote]
