[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If UVA is your DC's dream and if you are in-state, sure, ED UVA makes sense.

An important thing is to have several EA schools covering the floor, so tha[b]t DC will have at least one acceptance from a T50 before the break.  [/b]

RD will be a numbers game.  Once you have the floor covered, they can apply to as many T20 schools and WASP as they can handle.

ED T10 still makes sense.  You can gauge the strength of the application by the ED outcome: deferral or rejection.  You can adjust RD strategy and/or revise essays if necessary.[/quote]

Genuine question. What t50 schools have ea and notify students of an acceptance before won't we t break??[/quote]

Georgetown, Notre Dame, Case Western[/quote]

And MIT[/quote]

That would a ceiling not a floor. [/quote]

Yeah, not sure Georgetown or Notre Dame are floors either (esp. EA, where Georgetown is -- unusually -- tougher than RD).  Seems Case accepts much higher % of high stats kids but would be a target not a safety.[/quote]

Some use Georgetown or Notre Dame EA acceptance as confirming signals.  They RD HYPMS and top 10 schools with confidence.

With a deferral from Georgetown, realistically, focusing on T15 to T30.

Georgetown takes a lot of dmv kids.and is not really predictive of Ivies from the area.  My dd’s small school got five in a recent year, and only one also did well with Ivies and she was hooked.  It’s nice to have as the back up though.[/quote]

Other ivy admits from your school didn’t apply to Georgetown?  Or they applied and got rejected?[/quote]

They all applied and one was admitted to multiple Ivies.  The rest were rejected.  [/quote]

Interesting.  You are saying HYP Penn Brown admits applied to Georgetown and they didn’t get accepted by Georgetown?

So rejection from Georgetown indicates acceptance to ivy.[/quote]

The pp is saying they applied to Georgetown and Ivies but only got into Georgetown. What's unclear about that?[/quote]
