<p>ED or not ED? </p>

<p>D's first choice school is William and Mary which offers ED. Wife thinks she should do it to improve her chances.</p>

<p>D goes to high school ranked in Newsweeks Top 20 Public Elite High School. Has 1500 SAT (2190 with writing). Will have taken 12 AP's and 4 college classes before graduating. GPA is only 3.3 due to competetive school. Just named NMSF. Varsity Tennis (4 years), JV Field Hockey, Model Congress, Model UN, Medical mentorship</p>

<p>I think she will get in regardless of ED. Wife thinks grades will keep her out. I want RD primarily to see if there is scholarship money available because of NM status.</p>

<p>Love to hear opinions.</p>

<p>Can it really hurt to apply ED? I mean if she has a decent shot, she will likely get accepted/waitlisted, and a waitlist means that she will likely have to reapply or be transferred into another applicant pool. If she really likes the school, then why not? If financial aid is a concern, then I would be a little more cautious.</p>
