[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ED is such a scam. It's to give a leg-up to full pay rich kids and legacies. That's the sole reason for ED's existence. I guarantee that many competitive universities will soon be fill 75%+ of the incoming class with only ED's.

I hate it and wish it was banished. [/quote]

I agree, I hate it too.  My son did not ED his second choice because he said he could not "never know if he could get in UCLA". He is very high stat (I know everyone is, but just putting in context) and good ECS.  His guidance counselor told him about his second choice "you will very likely get in ED but unlikely RD - that would be consistent with what she sees every year".  We actually thought she was being pessimistic about RD and even some other schools that he was above 75%.  He was rejected (well WL, but same thing).  He is still happy about his T50 choice and super cheap because of all the merit (and compared to $80K per year at second choice). He stills says that he would do the same thing again.  I don't think the ED game is good for students both educationally or mentally.  But his is my last so now done with it.    [/quote]

You know applying ED is your option, right?  No one forces you to do it?

Don’t like it?  Don’t use it.

Why should it be banned for those that do want to use it?  That have a clear first choice, ran the NPC and can afford it, and hope to spend Dec-April enjoying senior year with less stress?[/quote]
