My D’s both did ED. Oldest did ED2. She decided after ED1 that was her top choice. It wasn’t her reachiest school, more of a realistic reach but her clear top choice.
D2 did ED to Brown. Stats and grades were in range but was deferred and then rejected.
I never would have allowed them to apply ED to a school that was not their clear top choice. D1,pulled her other apps immediately upon acceptance.
