[quote=Anonymous][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]

But in April the kid will have multiple colleges to choose from.  So it is a bit easier knowing you can pick from several.  Very different than selecting top choice in Nov if not 100%

You have those same colleges to pick from in November.  You just don't know whether you are admitted or not yet.  If you are not admitted to your ED choice in Dec, what have you lost?[/quote]
