[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid graduated from TJ a few years ago. There was a kid in his class who got into a T20 ED. Didn’t withdraw other apps and then got into an Ivy.  Long story short, the Ivy rescinded and the ED school rescinded and the kid had to take a gap year. [/quote]

Why did they not ED to the ivy if that was the preferred school?[/quote]

My understanding is that they though the Ivy didn’t have straight ED (they were REA mayb). and the kid thought it was too much of a long shot.  And settled on the T20 as more realistic?  I didn’t dig too deep on the whys. The “what happened next” was a peer ratting them out to the ED and Ivy. Scandal ensues. [/quote]

How do they not commit to the ED choice before the ivy admittance comes out in late spring?   Even if they somehow got guidance to participate in this nonsense,how does the timing work?

This whole thing sounds like BS.[/quote]

I think he did commit. Then tried to pull back the commitment and go to the Ivy.  It didn’t work.  The T20 withdrew his acceptance. And someone told the Ivy (the school or a peer, not sure) and they withdrew too.

My younger kid is at an FCPS base school.  She was accepted to her ED school. But, the school says they are sending her 1st semester transcript to all the schools she applied to and requested transcripts for, even though she withdrew her other apps. It makes no sense to me. I emailed the transcript office to tell them it only needed to go to the ED school, so so they didn’t do unnecessary work.  They said it’s set up to send transcripts everywhere. Maybe someone who works at the school can give us an explanation as to why.

I do know I sat with DD and her list of schools and watched her withdraw each app after she committed ED.  But, Kenyon emailed me last week asking why we hadn’t submitted financial aid info— her app was still active. (I checked and she had email proof she had asked for the withdrawal so ???   So, emailed back asking that they withdraw it).  I guess if a kid applied before the ED decision and they don’t withdraw and the transcript is sent, the app just continues on autopilot? [/quote]
