Don’t the schools want to accept qualified students who really want to attend their institution above all others? That’s one reason they allow early applications.

Most kids try to position themselves as wanting this school over all others. Lots of kids who say so may really have another #1… The proof comes later. Even if it is the dream school, getting an admit depends on much more. And just imagine every kid’s GC barraging a college. They wrote their LoRs and hopefully made their case. Sometimes, if the GC has a relationship with an adcom, they can call. It’s up to the GC; they try to keep these college relationships authentic.

Deferred is a little different. He did apply early, the college already saw his app and liked it enough to continue it. Massmom’s son and school took a good approach. Best wishes.
