[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stanford.  Most definitely a stretch by the imagination and anything else but nothing beats a miss but a try.

DC is not under any unrealistic expectations.  Fine if it happens.  Fine if it doesn't.  There are a whole lot of other fish in the sea, and he has cast his line.[/quote]

Stanford doesn't have ED? They have REA and RD, I thought. [/quote]A rose by any other name......

[i]Restrictive Early Action
Restrictive Early Action is a non-binding early application option for students who have completed a thorough college search and are confident Stanford is their first choice.  Admission decisions are released by December 15, and admitted students have until May 1 to respond to their admission offer, which allows them to compare financial aid awards across institutions. To students who apply for financial aid, Stanford provides an estimated award at the time of admission. The application deadline for Restrictive Early Action is November 1.[/i][/quote]

But the key difference is one (ED) is binding and the other (REA) is non-binding. [/quote]Oh, for pete's sake.  You know good and well what the poster was saying as the OP was asking who is applying early.  Move on! :roll: [/quote]

Not PP. It is actually very important to understand these distinctions. ED financially obligates the applicant.[/quote]

But most schools don't offer both ED and REA or SCEA (not sure any actually do). Occasionally you will see an ED/EA combo (my DC applied to one of these), and of course ED1 and ED2 (but you would never be doing these to the same school). But most have a single early option.

Given that the early deadlines are generally this week hopefully people have gotten this down by now. And hopefully you are reading the contract that you (the parent) have to sign before submitting an application for any binding decision.[/quote]
