[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have him rank his top choices. Assuming Northwestern is his top choice, what are his 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and would Northwestern ED mean giving up ED somewhere else more realistic? In other words, what would his strategy look like if he doesn't apply ED to Northwestern, what would be his ED1 and ED2.

It's hard to say more than 3.9/TO is in the ballpark of possible. So, assume ED to Northwestern will not work out, and come up with an ED2 strategy in the event of deferral and rejection.

As long as there is a satisfactory application strategy following ED rejection (and deferral, which I'd treat as a rejection) from Northwestern, and he really wants to go for it anyway, then he should go ahead and try.

My junior's top choice at the moment is Northwestern. We will see where his preferences stand in the fall, but if it's still his top choice, he will probably ED. 4.0 uw/1540 [b](plus grad school double legacy, if that even matters)[/b]. And we really don't know what his chances would be. My point is that even with top stats, there is so much uncertainty. Have your ducks in a row for Plan B.
