Full-pay kids with poor GPAs/TO use ED to lock down something reasonable. For example Elon takes 95% of ED applicants. Tulane is around 70%. If you know your child won't fare well in RD, it makes sense.

To the op: do you consider UVA to be a “tier 3” school ?

I was wondering if all the kids who are committed students who applied ED?

If you are looking at Instagram posts - not all the kids who are committed applied ED.

My kid too. Kid had a clear number 1 choice - there wasn’t even a close second. Fit is good, academics are strong - it just isn’t an Ivy/Elite/Top 10 school.

Kid is our second so we’ve been through the whole cycle before. Nice to be done.


Same. This might blow your mind OP but some people aren’t obsessed with “T10”

There are some other reasons for kids to commit early. Mostly recruited athletes. Also Posse Scholars have already committed, including at schools like Wisconsin that haven’t released EA results yet.

Yes, OP, kids do apply ED to schools you find inferior, but they love.

Yes, or EA or schools with rolling admission.

Some of the good ones like Ivy or T20 make sense but I’m seeing a lot of tier 3 colleges and they are not all athletic recruits.
