But did your kid have regrets when they saw where classmates got in RD?  If already at college do they have regrets about binding in EDII now?  
I ask as I know kids who definitely regret it, more in the EDII group than the EDI.  [/quote]

Zero regrets. He had been wanting that school for 2 years. He actually regretted not doing ED1 there and changed his EA to ED2.  Very happy.[/quote]

I don't understand kids who have ED regrets.  They should not be playing games with ED, but rather choosing their top choice, or their top choice they still want to attend (knowing that HCY might not be a real chance).  But if you would have regrets, then ED is not for you

The students are 17 year-olds- they aren't the ones playing games, the schools are[/quote]

No, the schools are not.  They are simply picking kids who want to attend and are willing to commit.  If you don't want to do that, then don't apply ED.  If you want choices, then EA/RD is available.

And yes 17 yo are playing games.  Kids pick schools they think they can get into, but often are not their top choice (sometimes not even in their top 3).  That is not what ED is for, unless you are willing to accept the result and not "wonder what could have been".  It's literally there for students who have a TOP choice and are willing to commit.
