[quote=Anonymous]I have two unhooked kids that got into T20s in recent cycles. Very different kids, but both had the grades/stats/rigor/tests scores/recs/ECs for anywhere. But they were unhooked. We took a look at their schools recent history with admissions. For some reason, no one ever gets into Penn. But there are other schools where students have had some success. We took a look at the schools where applying ED makes a difference for unhooked students from their high school. We were strategic about things. And we explained to both kids that if they do choose to apply ED to one of those schools, it must be one they really want to attend and will have no second thoughts about Stanford or MIT or Harvard or whatever. So all together we visited Northwestern, Chicago, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Rice, Columbia, and Brown. They each applied ED to one of those schools and got in. One and done for both of them. And they are both very happy with their choices. [/quote]
