[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ED works if your kid is confident about their preferences.  My son had 3 pretty equal favorites out of 11 applications, two East Coast non-Ivy, low admission rate privates and one UC.  He applied ED1 to one of the privates, got deferred, applied ED2 to the other one, got accepted.

He's pleased with the outcome.[/quote]

OP: This was my DC's exact thinking. 3 pretty equal favorites, but only one (Chicago) where ED would matter. In his mind, it made perfect sense to choose it. I felt ok about it at the time but (my bad) did not do enough research into Chicago's location and shady admissions practices. I wish he was headed to one of the other 2 faves which were both on the east coast. Or another east coast school a little further down his list. I feel like if he'd had the chance to make a choice in the spring, without the pressure of acceptances hanging over his head, he would have seen things differently.[/quote]

Your kid likes Chicago, ED’d to Chicago, got accepted to Chicago. The only problem here is your attitude to Chicago, not ED.[/quote]
