[quote=Anonymous]Top 20% sure, top 10% not really. Top 20% of kids should ED to places like BC/BU/Tufts, get in, and not stress for the rest of their senior year. What I have seen happen is that the top 20% of kids waste their ED on UChicago, Michigan, etc., and get deferred and then do not get into those schools later on, and often are not getting into BC/BU/Tufts since those schools are yield protecting in EA/RD and other ED2 schools now are bum-rushed with kids of the same caliber who got deferred from the UChicagos and Michigan. Aim "low" if you're at the 20% of the "top 20%." And by low I mean around 50-30 ranked schools. Your kid is going to have the same outcomes for jobs and grad school coming from there anyway, find a good culture fit and let your child enjoy their life without an inferiority complex. [/quote]
