<p>Nah, I'm not bitter. I agree that by the numbers it looks like EA provides an edge, but I'm not at all convinced it's an evil plot. Correlation does not equal causation and all that.</p>
<p>I'll be happy if my son gets in with or without the EA edge. I'll be happy if he ends up at any of the other schools on his list too. (Though I might miss the extra excuse to go to Boston.)</p>
<p>Here's a thought, he might get into Harvard (after all he's a legacy) and not MIT. What would/should he do then?</p>
