<p>I thought EA was not binding, so why wouldn’t a student submit all of the apps EA (or are some ED and binding therefore)?</p>
<p>I was told at one point that if you want a pre-read at the Ivy my son is targetting, he has to apply ED, that admissions won’t look at it even with a coach recommendation if it is RD. Something to do with acceptance rates of ED being higher, and putting the athletes in with the legacies as those with “a hook”.</p>
