[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we get back to topic? Are you saying non athlete kid with the stats to take a shot at WASP should actually wait until RD? Or just that s/he is not advantaged (much if at all) by going ED?[/quote]
Well, I for one am saying that a non-athlete kid is far more likely to get into a lower Ivy if applying ED. So it is more a matter of wasting your ED card if you apply to WASP-B and then needing to be comfortable leaving everything to RD.

Many top unhooked kids wisely decide to use their ED card elsewhere. They get in and are happy.

Williams therefore never sees the smartest of the smart anymore. This trend began only in the last 5 years, when it became clear that ED no longer offers any advantage. (Of course, athlete parents on this board think their kids are the smartest of the smart —  and can never be told otherwise; but we can hardly resent them for their stupidity.)[/quote]

Stupidity is WASP-B, [b]a non-existent figment of your imagination.[/b]

And I doubt that a non-athlete has better EA odds at a lower Ivy but I'm not sure. The odds are low for anyone and the athletics would just be part of the package if they are not recruited. [/quote]
Think about this phrase. Think real hard. Take your time: I know you think slowly. [/quote]
