[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reviving this because we’re looking for more info on Vandy EDII. Keep seeing references to it being a waste etc?

What’s the downside to a strong candidate trying for this if rejected by their first choice REA/EDI at Ivy+ and Vanderbilt is genuinely their second choice?

Also, any stats or insight re kids who got in EDII? Where did they REA/EDI? [/quote]

You've described every single kid whose ED1 to somewhere other than X (in your case, Vandy) was denied. Don't you think that almost every single kid who applies ED2 somewhere "genuinely" wants that place as their second choice? Your kid is like every single ED2 candidate and Vandy knows this was your kid's second choice. No harm in doing it, but saying "genuinely is our second choice" gives you no leg up.[/quote]

Sorry - I wasn’t clear. I didn’t mean that to suggest it might give them a leg up. I just meant that they’d be going for it not because they thought it would give them a leg up statistically-speaking compared a different reach school that didn’t offer EDII.

Basically, I’m trying to understand why people consider EDII a “waste” in such cases. I don’t see the downside if there’s no other school they’d want more. What am I missing? [/quote]
