[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It’s a waste because they won’t be selected (as they might have been 10 years ago). They’re strategic now and cast a wider net among a big handful of highly selective colleges, including Vandy. I’m talking here about the highest echelon of academic kids who aren’t also URM / FEGLI athletes [/quote] You must have a Jr so you're trying to discourage kids from applying. Vandy has ED II, which is specifically offered to lock in kids who didn't get accepted via SCEA or ED I at other schools. That's the strategy. [/quote] Pretty sure the EDII acceptance rate is significantly lower than ED!, which was 15 percent this year. Last year, EDII acceptance was 10 percent. Not sure about this year. In comparison, Regular Decision was 4.2 percent. So yes, if you are not a member of an "anointed" group you have to be strategic with how you use early decision and SCEA. It makes a difference at certain schools. [/quote]
