[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, LACs are very small. Applying to five LACs is roughly equivalent to applying to one large national university: our school sends about ten students a year to Cornell, but typically only one to Williams. Additionally, the school limits how many applications each student can submit.  I am not sure if it's wise to apply to LACs exclusively.  [b]Second, most SLACs do not offer an ED advantage—Middlebury is one notable exception[/b].  At the moment, Middlebury is not DC's dream school.  So there is no ED strategy.  I am also wondering if there is any consultant specialized in LACs.  [/quote]

This is just wrong wrong wrong. I don't know of a single SLAC that doesn't have an ED advantage. You can run the data and see.[/quote]

If not hooked ED at WASP does almost nothing.[/quote]

Nt sure what your basis is for this. I’ve heard it repeated here but don’t think it’s true.  The admissions rate is much higher early, and in anecdotal experience, for example Williams, I have seen unhooked kids get in early. Our school does better in ED than RD.[/quote]

I think it depends on the WASP school.  ED at Williams seems to help.  ED at Pomona does not help much.[/quote]
