Boy, [b]full pay, Econ (but could apply as history if that helps, has a ton of history EC), private, 3.8+, 1520

What would be EA or ED strategy w that list?

Take ND off the list because Notre Dame is not an afterthought type of school; those who want ND would place it first with no close second.

Georgetown is possible because OP is full pay & Georgetown likes full pay whether or not it claims to be need blind.

U Chicago economics is in a different class than the econ depts at the other schools. If OP's son truly wants to study economics, then U Chicago is the easy ED 1 choice.

Applying as a history (humanities) major will help most at Bowdoin College as Bowdoin has trouble getting its students to declare humanities subjects as one's major.

The only two schools on this list worthy of an ED application for an unhooked applicant are U Chicago & WashUStL. These should be OP's son's ED 1 & ED 2 schools.

U Chicago ED 1
WashUStL ED 2

Apply RD to the rest if unsuccessful in either ED round.[/quote]

There's a poster here who regularly comments that Notre Dame applicants don't apply/ won't go to peer schools.  That is not true.  As many other posters note, it's quite common for students aiming to T5 to apply EA to both Notre Dame and Georgetown.  There are many students who shoot for Stanford but would be v happy at Notre Dame . . . .[/quote]
