[quote=Anonymous]Let her apply wherever she wants - if your HHI does not fall under the threshold of getting free tuition at HYP, she could benefit by being in the position to negotiate aid. The whole point of REA/SCEA is that it is NOT binding. That said, I would discourage her from talking to her friends about her plans, unless they are all happily committed to early schools. That just seems unnecessary - why do they need to know she is applying to 10 more schools, vs 2? And, since finances are a reason, she could tell them that - esp if there are any kids who, like the parents here, are mad at her for not just taking her acceptance and being satisfied. But the whole idea of taking spots from others is stupid, IMO. Our private school has a policy that if you apply REA/SCEA to those schools, it is considered binding - that ends up benefiting our students, IMO, because the schools are more likely to accept them early because it is essentially an ED. Sounds like your school does not have that policy, so she is doing nothing wrong. Congrats to her and best of luck.[/quote]
