[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my kids are at a private school in nyc w no APs and it hurts kids 0%. we have unhooked kids who go to top 5 schools. we have dozens who go to T10 schools. he belongs to this group of consultants who thinks everyone should apply early but not to a SCEA school (HYP) unless hooked. I know this type. they really push their clients to lock up a UChicago or Northwestern. It''s good advice - but in a "dont dream too big" way. [/quote] I agree with the advice to not apply early HYPS unless you are hooked. But that does not mean I would encourage a kid to ED somewhere. you’re right — a lot of consultants do that. We called Solomon etc for DD whose dream school was MIT. They said to aim lower. We lays thanks but no thanks — she was admitted to MIT. And FTR, she applied to Stanford REA unhooked and was rejected — so that’s why I agree with the advice to not REA/SCEA unless hooked. [/quote]
