[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Chicago thing is crazy because from top private high schools they only matriculate kids who are well out of the top 20%. Maybe this year will be different. [/quote]

Chicago and Hopkins are T10 oddballs. I’ve never met a kid who dreams of going to either.  [/quote]

you bitter. get over it[/quote]

Different poster.  He's not wrong. They're the only top10 schools that have ED2. 
The only reason to have ED2 is to get a second shot at top students who didn't choose you ED1. [/quote]

Kind of a dumb take.  No one EDs to brown, dartmouth, cornell, etc as a dream school.  It's because they didn't feel as confident going for HYPSM.  I think it's smart to offer ED2.    Most people who end up at lower top 10s had bigger dreams but landed at a solid backup.

huh?  Countless people ED to each of these as their absolute dream school.  My kid did.  They had the stats for any school on the planet and ZERO desire to attend HYP.  Can you step away from your prestige and ranking whore mindset for 10 seconds? [/quote]

Incredibly stupid.  People ED to CMU, Emory, Cornell, Dartmouth, Columbia etc.  You're telling me if they were handed an acceptance letter from Stanford or Harvard, they would turn it down?  How about you step away from delusion.

My kid did. Chose something other than Harvard during RD. She is not alone. [/quote]

Considering Harvard's yield, what your kid did is not that common. Most turn it down for YPMS  and not the other schools you mentioned.[/quote]
