[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen so many normal smart, top of class kids who could have been admitted at great schools like Emory, Pomona or even Cornell but overshot during ED/EA for schools like top Ivies and Williams and wasted their ED. They ended up getting rejected/waitlisted everywhere during RD for schools they should have ED'ed, waited for the WL to clear all the way til July and they never cleared. [/quote]

Out of the many, many kids I know over many years when they were seniors, I know of a single one who had zero safeties to go to and were locked out of all schools. I doubt you've seen this happen to "many" kids. But the message is important to have some safeties where you could be very happy.[/quote]

DP: there were 2 kids at our HS (senior class of 700) who were left scrambling when ED1 didn't pan out and all of their EA that responded by early Jan were WL or rejections.  It does happen when people think---I applied to 14 schools, I'm good but all 14 are T30 schools with sub 15% acceptance rates.
