[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is great advice - My kid applied ED and got into his reach, and other kids with better grades and stats were rejected in April. Kids who RD'd were down a tier from the ED kids. Sad but true.[/quote] And yet at every admissions event the ADs swear up and down that it isn't true. Liars the lot of 'em.[/quote] What do they swear up and down isn’t true? I suspect it’s that they don’t compromise their standards during the ED round, not that the RD round isn’t more competitive. There are many more students in RD, so inevitably many highly qualified—perhaps with higher GPAs and test scores than some ED admits—aren’t going to get it. There aren’t enough slots for all of them. Many of those slots were taken by ED students, who were considered in a smaller and almost by definition less competitive pool. That’s not the same as saying they weren’t qualified or didn’t meet the school’s standards.[/quote]
