[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is likely in that same grade. If the estimates are correct, there were double digit applications each to Northwesterm. Harvard, Yale, Penn, Chicago - that is about half the class applying ED to 5 schools.[/quote]

Huh.  So odds are probably pretty good for top students applying outside of these schools. Why did so many kids waste their ED spot on what is a total crap shoot?  [b]those colleges are not going to take more than 3-5 (very max) from any one private (even the top privates)[/b] [/quote]

What? No, this isn't true at all.[/quote]

PP pulled that specific 3-5 number out of the air but common sense tells one that a college isn't going to accept a large number of ed applicants all from the same HS, so it does impact Student A if he applies ED to NW and 15 other students from his class do the same (I am not sure where the school college counselor was in all of this. I know they can't "force" anything but you'd think that alerting the students to how many others were applying ED to NW would have caused some to shift ED elsewhere).[/quote]
