[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many parents who tell me our DD got into Northwestern because she did ED but their child didn’t get in because of RD. DD is not an athlete and not full pay. We get about 50% of her bill paid by non student loan aid by NU.

Is it really THAT much easier to get in ED for a student like ours? She also competed with very good students who were on the ball about applying early.

I feel that sometimes people use not EDing as an excuse for why their child doesn’t get an acceptance. Wdyt?[/quote]
So, you have met some people with sour grapes over not getting into NU in RD. Very little in life is fair and the college admissions game is no different. NU gave you tons of aid. Were the complainers boxed out of ED because they couldn't afford the NPC estimate, or because they simply made different application deadline choices? Either way, that's not your problem. Just because others couldn't make it work doesn't mean your dd didn't deserve admission. Congrats and I hope your dd enjoys NU![/quote]
