Do students feel that they "need" to apply ED somewhere?

My son had no preference before Nov. 1 and still is unsure what his #1 is. We haven’t seen any schools except UCLA and USC as we are local and didn’t fly anywhere to visit schools during COVID. However, in my unscientific observations- in our very high performing and $$$ zip code area- not many of our high schoolers went ED because they are waiting on our excellent and affordable options at the UCs (most certainly a majority would be full pay). We had a lot of REA/EA instead.
