[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS was rejected from a small SLAC in ED despite having a very strong application and high stats. DS now thinks it was a waste to put his ED option into a smaller school. Learn from him and use ED for mid-size or larger unis with thousands of seats for your ED and ED2 rounds. Don't do what we did and use it on a small SLAC that only has a few hundred seats to offer. The odds are against you.[/quote]

This is very true. Especially when you realize that in the ED rounds those very small amount of seats are prioritized for what they prioritize more: 1) Recruited Athletes with Coach sponsored "tips" (this takes the majority of slots in ED, especially for males at SLACs), 2) First Generation to College (FG or FG/LI), the new institutional priority for LACs since affirmative action was overturned, 3) a smaller amount of Questbridge/Posse and 4)Donor sponsored "tips".

I'd just add it's not a "waste" to apply ED to SLACs if there is no other absolute 1st choice, but it is very very very low odds.
