[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC did not ED anywhere for similar reasons to the PP (covid made campus visits impossible).

Wondering if that was a mistake now too.

I honestly wish that ED had been rethought across the board this year. Seems like plenty of kids were not able to make an ED choice, so I hope it doesn't greatly disadvantage students this cycle.[/quote]

The experts were all saying ED full pay applications are the path to acceptance at reach schools this year.  With challenged economic/business models and significant drop in full pay international students, American Universities and colleges are poised for the biggest re-stratification of their enrollment in decades. Ultimately a detriment to society, but an opportunity for affluent families.[/quote]

What about for non-affluent families? DS didn't ED because I told him that means full pay, and we can't commit to that. He got into his first choice EA, the only one we've heard from. Financial info will come separately in January.  This school typically provides no merit aid, and FAFSA tells me we have to pay 100%. DS also applied EA to two schools that typically DO provide merit aid to deserving students, but I'm afraid they won't in the COVID environment. So stressful. [/quote]

Join us at the Public Universities.

That is my hope. The public he prefers (currently his second choice, but I hope it leapfrogs to first if he gets in) only offers ED, not EA. So we wait until spring.[/quote]

Yeah, my son just did ED to VT engineering.  Accepted, done.  Can't beat the price and he chose not to try for tons of merit at a bunch of privates that could be more selective.  The more selective out of state publics seem to be saving their aid for instate kids. Fair enough.[/quote]
