This is the answer.  ED to UVA certainly does give your student an advantage.  The applicant pool is much smaller, the schools knows you really want to attend and they have more seats available.  Meanwhile, make sure you show W&M lots of love by way of DI.  Apply ED2.  Best of luck![/quote]

ED is an advantage at ALL schools. [/quote]

I think it’s especially helpful if your kid isn’t a clear admit on numbers but has other positives going on. Fewer applications, so AOs don’t have to move as fast and can take more time to understand interesting class choices on transcripts, read essays, see upward trend, etc. If your kid can make case that they are a stronger student than their GPA might say, ED helps, because AOs have time to see that. My kid took 4 years of highest orchestra and 7 years of foreign language. All but one AP language was unweighted, but they were really into their music and into languages. But it was a drag on their GPA relative to their classmates. ED helped them showcase that their weighted GPA didn’t tell the whole story and the languages and music were into essays and were noted in the tell us anything extra section. [/quote]
