[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other issue is there is very little advantage with SCEA unless you are hooked (athletes and legacies, questbridge).  
I think a better question for your DC is whether it is better to apply ED to say Northwestern or Cornell where there is a boost for ED and perhaps your student may be the best student from your school applying? [/quote]

Or Brown, Duke, Columbia, Rice, Vanderbilt.[/quote]

Can a 3.85 from a top private with top rigor, 1560 get into schools listed above? Unhooked, good ECs but not amazing, good teachers rec, full pay[/quote]

My big3 kid was rejected at Brown and Vanderbilt RD this cycle with that GPA and a 1550 (not even waitlisted). Top rigor in all subjects. Obscure humanities major that was backed by extracurriculars.  Did not apply to Duke, Columbia or Rice.  [/quote]

If a girl I’m not surprised. Girls tend to have a much harder time in regular decision - even in the humanities. Boys in the humanities tend to luck out in regular decision.

ED2 often makes the most sense for girls.[/quote]

Which T10 offers the best chance for a girl during EA/ED if majoring in chem or bio? Top private full pay no hook top stats [/quote]

PP - this girl above wants (reaches) Yale, Pomona, Rice, Northwestern, in that order. What do you recommend for EA, ED, ED2, RD strategy to maximize chances? [/quote]

I would EA Yale, ED Rice, ED2 Pomona, RD NU
Rice loves high stats.
