[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UChicago, Tulane, Tufts What else? I think Northwestern, Vandy, Middlebury, Barnard, Claremont McKenna, Johns Hopkins, Emory, WashU (high % class via ED1/ED2, double/triple acceptance rate ED vs RD). Correct?[/quote] Nah. My ivy kid got into more than 3 of these in RD as well as more selective ones in RD[/quote] Nah, proves nothing except that your kid got into schools RD. Congrats on the RD success, but that doesn't prove that there is not an ED advantage at these schools. [/quote] But the title of this thread isn’t “where does ED give you a big advantage.” It’s ED or BUST. And from reading this forum, I thought it was nearly impossible to get accepted RD at many schools if your kid was unhooked. To the extent that I thought it was a waste of application fees for my kid to submit additional RD apps to some of them. But mine was accepted RD at Tufts and Emory, unhooked, with submitted test scores just shy of their 25th percentile. I appreciate people posting successes. Because you never know …[/quote] I think BUST in the title just means a relatively much lower acceptance rate, not literally bust. Chicago/Tulane are the epitome of ED/bust schools. Chicago acceptance rate for ED is nearly 40%, RD acceptance rate 2%. Tufts or Emory are easier admits and don't play that much game, still, much more difficult in the RD round. Congrats on the RD success. I don't believe your kid is an average Joe. Any spike or anything sets your DC apart from other applicants? Perhaps an undersubscribed major?[/quote]
