[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We finally decided yesterday, after an admitted student visit on Saturday. The admitted student was at his ED school where he initially was deferred and then later accepted.

DS was pretty sure where he was headed going into the student visit, but wanted to do his due diligence. The visit confirmed his decision and he pulled the trigger yesterday. DS also waited listed at two schools that could change his decision.

All I have to say is the ED school should have accepted him early. The deferral gave him space and time to find an even better fit in the end.[/quote]

It sounds like it worked out great for your son. The deferral gave him the time and space he needed to make his decision.

This was the same scenario for my DS who just committed to his original ED school. Although the original  ED school gave him a full tuition merit scholarship, he had a hard choice to make since he was not rejected by any schools he applied to. He ended up with some great options and on a waitlist for a dream school (which he accepted). The deferred acceptance gave him the time and the space to weigh pros and cons and the acceptances built up his confidence. He is motivated to work hard in undergrad and aim for his high reaches for grad/law school.[/quote]
