[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything we have seen supports the predictions. Full pay ED admissions are way up and those full pay families we know who “reached” within reason were for the most part accepted. Families we know to have applied with financial aid have had mixed results on ED, even at “need blind” schools. This is unfortunately the year that will be a step back in terms of equitable access to higher Ed. [/quote]

At our big 3 private we know at least 10 full pay kids (ours included) that did not get into their ED choice. Many rejected, some deferred. [/quote]

And the rate for kids who would not be full pay is even lower. [/quote]

Probably true. I am just disputing the fact the full pay kids are being admitted in droves to their ED schools. It seems harder for ED admits this year.[/quote]

The issue this year is that with testing being optional too many attempted to reach excessively with their ED applications. Those who reached reasonably had solid results, especially among full pay families.  ED isn’t about trying to get into a school for which the applicant barely qualifies and that’s what it appears to have been for many. An unfortunate waste of an ED application. [/quote]
