[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know, I kind of think it’s smart. My DS ED’ed to a school that he really likes and is pretty much a target. I think it’s quite possible he could have aimed “higher” but he doesn’t want to waste the ED shot and it’s a good school. He’s not the type to have too much buyers remorse. Wash U is a really good school. Perfect can be the enemy of the good in this process. [/quote]
Smart kid![/quote]

It's OKAY to really want to attend a target.   Kids know which schools they will be happy at, and many times it is NOT the Reaches.  My own kid didn't get into their "reaches", all had single digit acceptance rates.  They are extremely happy at their top Target (they got into all targets and safeties).  In reality, they had considered ED2 at this school and even ED1 but one parent (not me) believe a bit too much in rankings and wanted them to "wait and see about the rest of the reaches"--oh and kid was "deferred" from ED1 so deep down they wanted to wait for RD and see.  Ultimately I think they are AT THEIR TOP CHOICE and should have just done ED2 and been done with it.  When they visited they just responded differently to this school, why==because it's the perfect fit for them.
