[quote=Anonymous]I am the previous poster and I agree that the school should provide the date; I would just discount it. And yes, the counselors do like to play it too safe sometimes. As a parent, it is good to push back and be willing to stretch if your child can handle the stress of not getting into a reach school. If that would be too stressful, there's no harm in going early to a slightly safer school -- not a safety, but maybe school that's less of a reach. Makes for a happy senior year. It really just depends. Some of the happiest kids are the ones who passed on Yale to go ED to Tufts, Wash U, etc.... SFS is a school where probably 75% of the kids apply to Ivies or equivalents (Stanford, Chicago, and top LACs). I think about 30-40 kids are headed in that direction this year. It makes for a VERY competitive college environment.[/quote]
