[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. It is the first choice or we wouldn’t be doing it! 😂

But it’s not soooo competitive that DC might not get in RD. DC probably would with high gpa and sat scores at 75th percent. I thought there would be a good chance of some merit. But I’m not sure and I don’t know if I can take waiting until spring.

If DC did RD would probably get in and probably get some merit based on all comparisons. This is an SLAC. But who knows anymore? I hate the idea of leaving money on the table because it’s so freaking expensive, but I literally obsess over the cost vs. admission rate. We can afford full pay but we don’t feel good about it.

My two pretty worthless cents. We had the same situation last year - DC applied ED and got in. Other equally qualified kids from his school applied RD and did not get in.

But, once all the dust settled from RD acceptances, and wait lists!, and I heard the great acceptances and offers other students who waited to RD round were receiving, I had a lot of pains over it. DC is happy at his first choice school but I think would have been happy many other places, too, so I regret pushing ED. [/quote]

Similar story here.  DC very happy but I am wondering if he would have been equally happy somewhere where we got ome merit aid.[/quote]
