My daughter was ecstatic to get in ED. She would utterly disagree that there was a con in being locked in November of her senior year. She had absolutely zero doubt what her top choice was in August. She loved having the decision made and just being able to move on with the transition. For some kids, it is a HUGE relief. Some kids don’t have a clear favorite and want more time to decide, some want to weigh financial aid or merit offers - some know and want to be DONE - she’s always said it was the best Christmas present she ever received to not have to submit the waiting RD applications.
