[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. As previously mentioned, my DC applied to 2 (not 20 or 7 or even 4 - albeit I’m not judging those who did, either, if that’s what made sense for their individual circumstances) schools in RD that they would seriously consider attending over their early, non-binding admit. In our family’s view, they were indeed courteous of their classmates and friends, as they had 8 other RD apps to various T15 schools completed but declined to submit.

Not sure why some PPs feel entitled to more than courtesy. [b]Have you never applied to more than one job and weighed the best offer for you and your family before deciding which to accept?[/quote][/b]

Just FYI, but your kid's friends will be pissed if your kid really wants to work at Google (tells friends about this), gets an offer from Google...but then says, you know maybe I will see about Meta and Nvidia too.

It is the same concept.  Those companies try to spread offers to multiple target schools, so one kid getting all three in theory is taking offers from other kids.

[b]DC’s friends have supported DC’s decision, just as DC has supported theirs.[/b] It’s random people who have felt entitled to more than courtesy. There is no “I really want to work at Google but maybe I will see about Meta and Nvidia” - it’s “I have no clear favorite but applied to Google first because there was a tiny advantage in doing so. Google has no issue with me also applying to Meta and Nvidia, and in fact has accounted for the possibility I may decline their offer by extending more offers than available positions and also maintaining a backup list of other applicants.”[/quote]
Oh, to be a fly on the wall! What a strange combination of cutthroat and naive you are…[/quote]

Lol, whatever helps you sleep at night. A few of my DC’s friends with early, non-binding admits are also applying to additional schools (that they are seriously considering) in RD. They’re neither entitled nor hypocritical.[/quote]

This thread is specific to HYPSM.

Nobody cares if you have an EA admit to USC as example.[/quote]
