I have heard that the colleges give a penalty to high school for a few years, if applicant from this school have applied multiple ED, or such. Ask your school guidance.
@ABeefy: Harvard-Westlake is not a boarding school. It is a private day school.
Here is something interesting for you. My dad is an ivy league graduate and works at a large Wall Street firm and is heavily involved in recruiting. He says the times have changed dramatically. 25 - 30 years ago they recruited primarily from 5 schools - Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Wharton, Georgetown, as that was where most of their workers were from so it was easier to just recruit from those same schools and the students were very good overall. He says these schools have changed materially in the type of students they admit since these schools are now trying to 'socially engineer" the country. These schools have become extremely focused on diversification based on race, economics, with a massive preference for leftist thought (hidden under the false guise of progressivism). With this movement, top universities shun many of the greatest academics for some manufactured diverse class. What does this mean? It means with a dramatically increasing talent pool going into college, former shoe-ins for Harvard now have a significantly lower chance, and the beneficiary are schools not in the top 3 or so. So his company has now stratified recruiting: they categorize Harvard and MIT as a group I given they still get a lot of top students (Harvard more so because they are large enough such that even though they utilize a socialized engineered formula to build a class they still have enough spots to be academically fair. In Tier 2 are Princeton, yale, Cal tech group 3 is Columbia, Stanford, Wash U, Chicago, Cornell, Georgetown, Dartmouth, There are several more tiers including Brown and some others. What he says is that the difference between the students coming out of all the top 3 tiers is indistinguishable in terms of quality as many of the best academic and savvy students have been forced down due to socially engineered classes at Harvard etc. So now they can recruit at any of the top 3 tiers and get nearly identical candidates in terms of intellect, work ethic, drive etc. The world has changed. Your mind is developed by the time you get to college so your college is not going to matter so much anymore since the world has gone from 2 to 3 great colleges 30 years ago to 20 to 25 great colleges today, all with world class students, and al these schools basically teach the same thing.
