[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many interesting responses here. DC applied ED to a school well within stats/ECs, etc but because admit rate &lt;10% then a reach. DC is legacy at the school and ultimately realized that ED was most prudent choice in this admissions climate if the one of DC's key goals were to attend the most competitive school possible. DC nearly pivoted to another reach school - don't make a cold visit (new school) in mid-October as your DC may leave their first ED at the altar. But a cooler head prevailed and DC got in ED.

For the PP out there with a now disappointed ED admit kid, a relative working in college admissions said that buyer's remorse is not necessarily uncommon following ED acceptances as well as RD. I've even heard some counselors discourage attending admit days if student is ED because the majority of the students are comparing/contrasting their options and can make ED admits second guess their decision.

That is really interesting about the admitted students day.

I have a junior and I feel like we will be in a similar situation next yr. I think her first choice would be Cornell and her second choice Duke, but she is a double legacy at Duke, so she will probably apply there ED. She's high stats, but who the hell knows. It's a crap shoot. [/quote]
