[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a bizarre rant: “Parents, don’t do ED or your kid might get into a crazy selective school !!”

I would encourage ED to a top-15 school if you know it is the clear-cut first choice. Still no guarantees.

One of mine did not ED anywhere because nowhere had that clear No 1 feel. One did ED and was deferred and ultimately rejected.

But it’s hard to take advice against ED when the argument is “because you might actually get in to Chicago.”

Broadly, if you aren’t sure you want to go to School A, don’t ED. It greatly reduces the chances you will get in to School A, but it keeps every other door open [/quote]

ED should be outlawed. It messes with kids' heads. And of course is unfair to those without $. Yes of course ED should only be for your "one true clear favorite" but I think [b]the majority of kids [/b]struggle to separate that from the admissions advantage it confers.[/quote]

I think that’s more the parents than the kids. [/quote]
