[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two cents on it as a parent whose DC REA'd to a HYPSM last fall and was deferred is EDII is probably the toughest call/ most exploitative aspect in the whole application process.  The colleges start emailing them to convert to EDII, school counselors pressure them to pick an EDII etc.  My student initially EDII to UChicago and then spent about a week regretting it until he contacted their Admissions and withdrew the commitment.   He wasn't the only kid in his grade who did so, another EDII to Rice and withdrew it. Both my DC and the other kid were accepted RD to Ivies and were super happy. The kids who kept in their EDII's (UChicago and Vandy) definitely both have  regrets.  Same for a relative to EDII to Northeastern.

You need to really understand if the EDII decision is driven by disappointment and panic as opposed to truly because the student has as real #1 and a close #2 that happens to offer EDII.   Personally, I think that is a pretty rare situation.  [/quote]

My kid did the same a few years ago and pulled ED2. Also at Ivy.[/quote]
