[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think ED makes the psychological aspect of the college process so much worse. The best way to go into the process is to not pick a dream school and feel like there are many schools on the list you love and would be happy at, but ED encourages students to pick a first choice and then fixate on one first choice school. And An ed rejection can be really hard since it is months before happier news. I watched my DC’s class go through this, and several people had very unhappy and stressful senior years after ED rejection even though in the end all of these particular kids wound up at fantastic top schools.

I agree with all of this.  This system bifurcates those that can get in and enjoy the next few months or those that have to scramble and get in another dozen applications during holiday break.  And talk about the mindf*ck of getting deferred and not knowing whether it's a soft rejection or if you actually have a shot at RD or if they defer everyone who is not accepted so it doesn't tell you anything (I'm looking at you Harvard and MIT!).[/quote]
