My advise is to NOT apply ED anywhere unless you are very, very sure it’s the place for you. That means you have researched it, visited/toured, saw classes, ate there, slept there. Seriously. It’s just too risky and you’ll wonder about the other possibilities. Also, don’t apply ED to a big reach unless you are OK with the risk. ED is much better used at a place where you are a good bet to get in, and visited in depth and really liked it/ loved. This is advise from a mom whose S used the ED card and it worked out the best it could ( because 17year olds are still getting to know themselves).
