[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also at NYC private here- your counselor knows who else is applying, and remember you are also competing against your classmates who may have serious hooks. Counselor may know that Yale historically takes up to 2 ED applicants, but other applicants are hooked (donor on Yale Boards, URM, D1 athlete). The counselor then knows your DC is less likely to get in. We were strongly steered towards a T10 ED and DC got in. But strongly steered against other T10 schools, including my alma mater.

The ED shot is probably the high target/low reach ED as the counselor sees it. But 45% of our school wind up in RD after ED rounds, so it comes down to personal choice.[/quote]
