[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know a family whose top stats daughter was deferred and then waitlisted at UVA (but she did EA not ED because she wanted to ED an Ivy. We've all heard that song before.) They are PISSED at UVA about it. It was pretty shocking to hear them discuss it. Which brings me back to - you should ED the best school you have a strong shot at. Not some crazy reach school. Anecdotally most kids we know had great results ED-ing a realistic choice. [/quote] Exactly! You have to play the game but seriously consider our odds. And realize that even ED you don't typically have much change at an IVY, but at UVA you really increase your odds. So if UVA is your favorite school after your "true reaches"/Ivy choices, then you must decide if you just go with UVA. Many times (really many times!) it's a much better choice. [/quote]
