[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC was SURE in October that they wanted to apply ED. This was a school they had visited several times by that point and were confident was their top choice. I asked many times before signing the agreement.

Then they changed their mind, but too late to withdraw the application. So they are now in the position of being disappointed that they got in to their (former) top choice school. It's a really unfortunate situation all around. I've posted about this before and I hope those who told me DC will come around in May are right!

In any case, that's why ED isn't always the best option for every kid. I know I will definitely not suggest ED for DC2.

Why did your DC change his or her mind?[/quote]

You know, I'm not really sure. Their reasons change often and sometimes make no sense. The one thing I see most often is basically FOMO -- several friends are already in to Ivies and DC feels left out. DC's school is an excellent one, but not an Ivy and DC wonders if they could have done better. That's VERY unlikely based on stats, and I think DC did extremely well with this acceptance, but teens are often irrational!
