<p>He looks like a very strong applicant! ED is the best way to go when it’s your top choice. Make sure letters of rec are from teachers who know him well and support him, and that his essays are well done. There are no guarantees, but he should have a good shot with those stats. </p>

<p>Hopefully, he falls in love with a few other schools too. Even with stellar applicants, there’s no sure fire way to predict with top tier schools.</p>

<p>You’d get financial aid as well.
Best of luck :)</p>

<p>Thanks! I ran the net price calculator and I’m having a little trouble believing it’s right. Our EFC seemed incredibly low. I am going to call financial aid and ask. Appreciate other’s input as well.</p>
