[quote=Anonymous]We were told by a senior admissions person at NU while there on tour that ED is a significant advantage, 20% acceptance rate.  They will meet need so you can rely on the net price calculator to estimate your need.  We were also told they turn down valedictorians with perfect stats every year.

We will get no FA and are UMC, not rich, but admittedly DCUM UMC.  DC is likely applying ED because it is the best fit for them.  This will be very tight for us but we have saved about half the cost and will make it work.

Saying that you would have gotten in if ED’d is fictional because this is always a choice where to ED, those that chose too high chose to make a bet and that is the nature of losing bets, if I had only chosen differently I would have won.

Maybe this is what DC is doing but there really is no place that hits DC the same as NU so they are making that bet.  But we are pretty confident that DC will get in somewhere that is a good fit.  The hardest part of this process is choosing good targets and safeties for relatively high stats kids.
