[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is about "influencers" on A2C, TikTok, instagram. Who, I admit, I follow.

The story they tell is that SCEA is zero help, and if you're  not hooked, can harm you.

You're better off EDing a half step or full step down and locking something in.

The lesson is that those T5 schools are out of favor - they're getting more apps now that pre-pandemic (less than when they were test optional and everyone was throwing one in). The story is they're IMPOSSIBLE really if you're unhooked so don't throw away your shot at ED. Use it wise ie, a T20/25, not T5.[/quote]

Exactly. It's all about risk assessment. Some kids want to shoot their shot regardless, but my DC wanted to lock down an excellent option ED, an elite school where they knew they'd thrive, vs. trying for HYPS and risking ending up farther down the ladder. We are all very happy with how they approached it, and the results. Btw this was a 4.0uw/4.96w 36 ACT magnet kid who didn't want to take the risk, and also wasn't interested in the lower Ivies.[/quote]

Can you share which school your DC chose over HYPS?[/quote]

Non-Ivy T-10 or WASP probably.[/quote]
