[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is great advice - My kid applied ED and got into his reach, and other kids with better grades and stats were rejected in April. Kids who RD'd were down a tier from the ED kids. Sad but true.[/quote] And [b]yet at every admissions event the ADs swear up and down that it isn't true[/b]. Liars the lot of 'em.[/quote] Not necessarily. I know William and Mary said at one of the prospective student open houses something along the lines of “like many other schools there is an advantage to applying ED”. They also said the optional essay wasn’t really optional. At one of the Boston College virtual panels we attended they showed the ED and RD admission rate. That was eye opening we dropped it from the list once we saw the RD rates and then considered merit or FA was unlikely even if accepted. [/quote]
