[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sorry, OP.  As a parent of a junior at a private school that really pushes ED, I am appreciative of this thread.  Could you provide any more info on why your daughter’s preferences changed in terms of size and atmosphere? What else would you do differently?

So far what I am hearing from other posters is there seems to be [b]buyers remorse for kids who felt like they made a strategic choice[/b] rather than picked their favorite school (although adults seem to find wisdom in the choice).

Anything else? Did you all visit ED choice?  Trying to avoid this for my junior so I am appreciative of all the advice. [/quote]

I'm the PP--my kid had "buyer's remorse" for the school he loved most.  It was the school he clicked with, the one we thought was best, the one that made reasonable sense financially etc.   It's just it's a big decision, everyone around you is all hyped about where they got in and all for the months after you've "settled", and it's just natural to second guess.  I don't think it's a flaw with ED, it's just how minds work.  Some people struggle more with that feeling than others--it often has little to do with the merits of the choice.  I'm sure my DC would have been agonizing and second-guessing over their RD options too had he gone that route, been slow to warm up to the place once there, and then become completely in love and loyal to the institution after a little time.
