[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid made a huge mistake not applying ED, but did EA to 7 schools and deferred at every single one. ED admittance rates are way up at my kid's school, but EA is not doing well. Visited one college campus before coronavirus, so has no idea where he wants to go and his father is insisting he will be able to get into a T20 school that we have a very close connection to (including 7+figure donations), but doesn't have ED and my kid is not qualified to get into. Dad refuses to allow ED2, even though that is his best chance at one of these more mid-tier schools, which are a better fit for my son. I fear my husband is steering him toward some very bad decisions![/quote]

It seems like the 7+ figure donations would be your ticket...maybe no need to worry so much?[/quote]

Because of those donations, a few economically stressed families can afford to send their kids to the school. Let's keep in mind this fact while judging if a donor also benefits from his/her donations.

If you’re talking HYP, their endowments are so large that even a million is essentially meaningless [/quote]

It's not HYP and it is a school that needs the money. We are full-pay (that's probably obvious--but only because of the big-donor relative). They did defer his EA app, so yes, we're nervous. [/quote]

What did the development office say when you spoke to them about your kid?[/quote]
