@momofsenior1 - You are correct, we didn’t know about ED, properly research it, etc. So yes, I take accountability for that. Not sure though that that particularly relates to the cluster of a mess with BYU.
Actually, I DID take your advice yesterday! I reached out to her guidance counselor to see if he can reach out to the school. No word yet but I did try.
With regard to the LoR - I mean, honestly, what do you want me to tell you on this? This is what the TEACHERS said for her to do. She asked three and they all said the same thing so I gather this is common practice at her (and other) high schools.
With regard to ED, we had already applied to BYU before applying ED to Brown and you could be right, maybe that played a factor in the decision and BYU saw that but again, they should just tell us that then! There was another kid in our ward who applied ED to BU and applied to BYU ( IDK If he got in though) but it sounded to us like common practice.
Thanks, we know (now) about using ED on a school that isn’t first choice.
