[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ED golden era is Dec 20-Jan 20th.

Starting mid February and beyond, a lot of kids sour on that Wash U (etc) ED decision.

This thread is within the golden era .. just read it as such. Lots of kids get into T20 schools during RD. Feelings shifts.[/quote]

Are you saying that kids regret their ED decisions?  Because I can see it going a different way (i.e., finding out that students are shut out of schools that take 50% or more of their kids in the early round).[/quote]

It can go both ways - you'll see that here.

For high stats kids, I see more of them regretting their decisions. A step below high stats, relief about their ED[/quote]

I think this process is so fraught that there's going to be doubts no matter what you do. My kid ED'ed to their top choice and got in, then wondered later if they should have reached higher (to a HYPSM where they were a legacy). Kid made the choice to ED to the school that was far and away their top choice and the best fit, was thrilled to get in, but STILL had a few pangs of doubt.

It all worked out. Kid is now a super happy first year at the ED school. I don't think the HYPSM would have been as good a fit even if kid had gone for it and gotten in. [/quote]
