[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, ED is an admission boost for kids from families who will pay the full amount. It is AA for white kids, or those with $$.

Been saying this for years, and why so many people falsely assume certain TT private high schools are so great with ex missions. Yes, the kids are smart (and prepped) but most of them will also have the $$ ED admission boost, it’s not just the school  [/quote]

ED is an option for EVERYONE!  Run the NPC.  If you are WILLING to pay that number, then you can apply ED.  If not, then ED is not for you.

The fact people cannot understand this is astounding.  A T25 is typically not giving your kid merit.  It's FA or nothing.  NPC will tell you how much.  And if you are "donut hole" then you made the choice to not save, so focus your energies on finding the best school you can afford for your kid.  Because Brown/Harvard/ETc is not giving you merit in RD either.  [/quote]

Did you even read your own post?  Not everyone is willing to pay 80K/year, even if the NPC has decided the family can afford it.  Maybe that family wants to blow their money on expensive cars, maybe they're older parents who didn't save enough for their own retirement or are supporting elderly parents of their own.  Ergo, ED is not an option for EVERYONE! (even if you add in all CAPS to try to make it so).[/quote]
