[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are unhooked, you need to think more carefully about schools between Williams and Dickinson.  In particular, you need to think through an ED strategy.  If your ED strategy is ED1 and ED2 to Williams, Amherst and Swat, your kid may end up at Dickinson or F&M.  There are a lot of great schools in between that you would have a much higher chance of acceptance if you apply ED than you would at the top 5.  I would figure out which of these appeal to your kid.  Yes, Williams is the gold standard, but there are many schools not far behind... Consider Rhodes and Furman for merit aid.[/quote]

OP here. Did you have schools in mind? I thought we had a pretty good selection across the small liberal arts colleges. I will take a look at Rhodes and Furman.

I’ll admit I’m not well educated on early decision options. Why would doing early decision to one of the more selective schools mean she was locked into one of the less selective ones? Is that because you think she would be rejected out right at the beginning?[/quote]
