[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One additional thing to consider:  if DC is admitted early action to somewhere lots of people would consider a "dream school" there is a lot of peer pressure to stop applying to the super elite schools to give your classmates a better chance and not get greedy.  "Oh yes, I was very excited to get into Harvard early, but I still want to apply to the other 7 Ivies so I can see how many acceptances I can rack up" just doesn't fly if you are a considerate person.[/quote]

That happened to one of DCs friends. Accepted EA at Stanford but still applied to many Ivies. Accepted at several and actually ended up attending one of those rather than Stanford so it was the right strategy, but some of the kids thought he was just trying to rack up acceptances. [/quote]

We found this is quite popular to do. SAme idea- get in HYP or Stanford, get in, then apply to all the others just to see and end up going to first choice anyway. I don't get it but it's definitely done[/quote]
