[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the biggest downside is kids are maturing and changing so fast their senior year. Locking them into a college choice on Nov 1 is tough. My son has only been 17 for 3 months at this point. [/quote] EA is not a "locking in". it just gets you a decision sooner (unless deferred). Really no downside at all, IMO For my first kid, EA meant they had 3 acceptances before Xmas break began. From their top 3 schools. For 2nd kid, they had a ED deferral and 5 acceptances before Xmas. So they were still waiting for their #2 and #3 (and #1 in RD now), but "they knew they were going to college at a good choice" as they were in with merit at their top safety (a true hidden gem and really an "easy target" more than a safety). The holidays were much more relaxed (despite the ED deferral) to know they were in at their #4 and top safety. [/quote]
