ED1 vs ED2 strategies (Tulane, UMiami, SMU)

I suggest you go for Tulane as ED1. Apply to Miami EA. Based on last year, they’ll probably send you a note – last year on 12/15 – asking if you’d like to switch from EA to ED2. Tulane says they’ll release ED1 decisions on 12/15. Hmm, interesting timing for Miami’s reach out. :wink:

Show interest in both schools, especially Miami since you want that email to switch to ED2. Not everyone got it. Based on others’ stats, your D is a very competitive applicant to Miami for EA and will get merit at SMU. Tulane released its Class of 2025 stats and your D would be at the 75%ile for ACT and potentially at 50% or so for GPA (rigorous school; UW GPA). Tulane is very service oriented so highlight that in your D’s app.
