[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For many kids the comfort of knowing where you will attend Dec-April and really being able to enjoy your senior year while others are chewing fingernails and busting to raise semester grades is a highly significant benefit.

This is in addition to the gigantic admissions benefit if it is a competitive situation.

The idea that kids generally mature and gain great insights during that specific 4 months is not really plausible, IMHO.[/quote]

A lot can happen in a few months - kid's insights could change due to mental health issues that arise, family illness, anything.[/quote]

Right, and that all ends in April?

Don't buy it.[/quote]

No one said it ends in April, but...I don't know how you can argue that kids don't change a lot throughout their senior year.  Not much may change for adults during that time span, but it's different for kids.  If your kid has lots of changes going on in their life and isn't sure what they want to do, then it seems sensible to not ED and use that additional time to figure things out.   [/quote]
