Agreed with the others about “not useful as predictive measure”. As the complement to @NiceUnparticularMan’s anecdote, both of my 2025s were offered Honors at Pitt, but neither was subsequently admitted RD to WashU. Both did get in to W&M (one with Monroe), which they both chose, and also into Carleton, which was their close #2. So as tempting as it is to look for early indicators, I think it’s not necessarily a reliable one.
