[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be the point of strategizing to increase odds of going to school that wasn’t his first choice?[/quote] It could be smart depending on a kid’s preferences. If a kid’s top 3 colleges are Yale, Swarthmore, and Northwestern, and then a sharp cliff after those 3, a kid might logically decide to ED to Swarthmore. The logic here would be the kid would much rather go to Swarthmore than a school not in his top 3. He might think his ED card is wasted at Yale, so he’d play it at Swarthmore. Just because he would choose Yale over Swarthmore doesn’t mean that he would never ED to Swarthmore or Northwestern. Depends on all of his preference… not just his preference for #1 vs #2. [/quote] This is a really good point and very good analysis of 3 schools where that type of strategy makes a ton of sense[/quote]
