And then what happens to an EA kid who declines ED2 but applies RD? My guess is they will be waitlisted because they have already shown that they don’t consider the college their top choice (by declining an invitation to ED2) and colleges won’t want to affect yield by admitting them directly via RD.

Which really hurts donut hole families who need to compare financial aid offers and who don’t have the finances for multiple college visits across the country to assess fit prior to admittance.
