[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience from our private school is there is gentle steering.  Definitely pressure to ED, more than I think is appropriate as it is not fully consistent with the "first choice/attend above all others." The kids all know who is a legacy/recruited athlete/big donor/faculty and they understand that impacts their chances at those student's REA/ED schools so counselors don't have to steer around that. 
Bigger issue is how to handle the problem of top students whose target and safety schools (think Lehigh, Bucknell and publics) overlap the target and reach schools of the next tier of students.  T[b]he counselors don't steer the top kids away from applying  but they strongly encourage kids to withdraw applications or turn down acceptances as soon as they have an acceptance at school they prefer.

School also only makes advocacy calls for waitlist or in response to inquiry from AO's.   [/quote]

At our private, for deferred early applicants, the RD apps to Lehigh/Bucknell/Wake/Davidson would be pulled (with nudges and reminders) after OOS admits to UVA, Michigan, and similar-caliber EA schools.[/quote]
