[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3.7/1300s (and submitted) kid did well. My feeling is that some people are overestimating their odds given the stats, AND not playing the ED game if they are in the fortunate position to do so. ED1 to a reach, fine. If it doesn’t work out and it’s a deferral, ED2 somewhere more reasonable for gods sake unless your kid is satisfied with a couple safeties they hopefully got into EA. Don’t hang around waiting on the ED1 deferral which is likely NOT to happen. Play the odds. Our kid wanted to wait out RD from the ED1, we and her counselor strongly advised ED2 to her 2nd choice, and she got in and was THRILLED. Just my two cents from our experience. [/quote]

How can you apply ED to two different schools? I thought the point of ED is that it is for one school only?[/quote]
ED1 and then if not accepted pick a school that has ED2, typically with apps due in early Jan.  ED2 was smartly created for schools to capture kids who don't get into their ED1 on Dec 15.
