<p>I guess I would just like to know what you meant by that.</p>
<p>My idea that Reed was not Binders first choice was because of the number of threads that he initiated asking what his chances were regarding quite a selection of other schools, ( Whitman, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern,USC, Amherst) which are more competitive and well known than Reed- combine that with no information about why Reed would be his first choice- gave me the impression that it was not ( particularly since those schools are a bit different than Reed)</p>
<p>Regarding ED, Reed was her first choice & I do believe Reed holds money out for ED students along with returning students- if she was applying again ( and had her essays done), I would advise her to apply ED.</p>
