[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year- my kid rejected ED. Deferred ED2.  Deferred at 2 of his top EA schools. Got into great schools in RD and ended up with 2 amazing final options- is thriving at one of those (ED2 deferral school). It’s a slog but stick with it![/quote]

My kid was deferred from two schools this week and we are questioning the kid's everything now (choice of major, essays, etc.).  Did your child revamp their approach at all between the deferrals and RD?[/quote]

ED and ED2 schools were highly rejective so a total revamp was not needed. In the numbers game, it made sense.
They ended up adding a few additional schools to their list.  Honestly, in the end they applied to way too many schools.  Looking back, I don't think they would have wanted to attend at least 1/3 of them but I think at the time they felt like it was an additional insurance if the pattern continued and we were okay with them adding more schools.  The earlier school's essays were recycled into most other school's prompts so each additional school wasn't a crazy additional amount of work. [/quote]
