[quote=Anonymous]" People oversestimate....." here. Observation that mentioned EA and Ed may have been correct. College involved had/has "single choice early action." i have observed other legacies getting in this way since we applied. We did not choose that since son's strategy was to apply early action to several other schools he really liked that were matches or between a match and a reach as opposed to reaches and hope one of those would come thru for him and take the uncertainty out of the application process. It worked in the sense that he got into three of those, UVA, BC, and "X", an even higher ranked school. He then ended up getting turned down at my Ivy and going to X. It's possible he would have gone to X even if he had gotten into my school, and he was very happy there. His getting turned down at my school was ultimately a bigger deal for me than it was for him. He was thrilled with his admission to X.[/quote]
