[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a fan of ED generally. I think it serves the colleges much more than the students. And, especially not for public universities. VA is unusual in having it at so many schools.

My DD was interested in W&M but not 100% on board since she was looking at a variety of other schools. So she, rightly IMO, did not ED. But had to be aware that with her stats she was in that range where I think she would have gotten in ED but is unlikely to in RD (still waiting on that). Her various interests/priorities have evolved over the process and I think she now probably would prefer W&M but it's not likely to an option. She has other good (and less expensive) options so it's fine but it irks me that colleges expect students to make these decisions so early in the process, mainly to make their jobs a bit easier.

+10.  Same scenario with my DD [/quote]

Same here, but last year. They pretty much expect kids to choose before most of them have truly had an opportunity to do a deep dive and figure out what they want. They change so much through Senior year. [/quote]
