[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of admission consultants are also calling it an "informal ED3" or "ED3 type" when the school asks the school-based counselor or student in advance of making the offer if the kid is 100% committed to accepting. If the counselor/student say yes, the student gets an acceptance in their portal that they are expected to accept. If a school-based counselor or student leads a college to believe they're 100% in and they're not and they don't end up accepting, it could hurt the credibility of the school with that college the following year.[/quote]

Pretty amazing that admissions consultants are at best perpetuating and at worst creating a climate of fear that benefits the schools. Whom do these consultants work for again?[/quote]
It obviously sounds like a feeder private where counselor has a close relationship with the AOs. A school like that would also restrict students from applying to too many colleges to reduce competition. Not sure why there is so much back and forth on this topic. If my DC were in that school I’d have had already discussed their top choices so they could say Yes or No accordingly and we’d be grateful for the pipeline to the top colleges. If there is an honor code, I’d recommend my DC to follow it. I don’t see it as deceptive or fear based.
This obviously is not how it plays out at most schools.[/quote]

Admissions consultant is not the same as a private school counselor. [/quote]
