[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One additional thing to consider:  if DC is admitted early action to somewhere lots of people would consider a "dream school" there is a lot of peer pressure to stop applying to the super elite schools to give your classmates a better chance and not get greedy.  "Oh yes, I was very excited to get into Harvard early, but I still want to apply to the other 7 Ivies so [b]I can see how many acceptances I can rack up" just doesn't fly if you are a considerate person[/b].[/quote]

[b]What nonsense! I am not going to compromise acceptance to be considerate to you![/b][/quote]

No matter how smart and special  the kid, this scenario isn't a reality for enough kids to even worry about.  There were only about 150 to 200 kids in the entire country cross admitted to Harvard, Yale, and Stanford last year.  And these few candidates are not taking spots away from their friends and classmates.  They are quite unique.  This zero sum game concern is a red herring.[/quote]
