No, I see it less mechanical than that. Applying ED, in theory, says you will enroll, but getting them to want you is more than that. Think about it: do you think every ED applicant is automatically a match, just for using an earlier deadline? Not. Or that the only concern is yield? Not. In reality, kids still get confused, misunderstand, may not have the right mix of ECs, may write their essay about some random thing…I think you know the range of pitfalls.

Joe B- student can open emails. He can have been “dreaming” of, say, Stanford since kindergarten. He can apply early. And still not have the goods. If so, his chances are low, to begin with.

The more possible kids still need to show an understanding of the college, what it is and how to show your match. Analysts aren’t reading apps.
