[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kid was accepted ED to UVA from NoVA. I’m not sure the marginal benefit over EA in-state at UVA is worth the binding commitment. In retrospect, I wish they had EA’d to UVA and let all of their other applications ride out.[/quote]

Do you really? Won't it hurt either way? if they are accepted to all tho others, you are forced to let them go. If they are rejected, won't you hate them a little bit more and fear you kid 'barely' made the cut?  IMHO its better not to know.[/quote]

I am 95% certain my WM kid who got in ED would not have made it RD.  So, I guess they just barely made the cut.  So what?  For every slot at W&M, there are 2+ applicants who could have the potential to be great students there. And a lot of kids who don’t even try because the average GOA is so high. My kid is doing an amazing job academically and socially, and I am so thankful they decided to ED and are attending a place where they are thriving.   UVA and WM both have many, many more highly qualified applicants than slots, which parents on here bemoan regularly.  The kids who “just make the cut” have everything they need to succeed if they work hard.  So do WL kids accept for fall admissions, and spring pathways and a lot of the outright rejections. Being accepted these days is hard.  And lucky. No one accepted should have imposter syndrome— and certainly not an unhooked kid from NOVA. [/quote]
